Across the US, people are dismantling and destroying Flock surveillance cameras. Anger over ICE connections and privacy violations is fueling the sabotage.

How would you take such a camera down without being spotted and tracked? Do they not look in all directions?

Not asking for all the technical details on how to take one down, just curious how so many can be taken down with so few arrests after. I guess it’s a matter of good disguises?

Leave your phone at home.

Don’t drive your own car there, and don’t get an uber.

Ride a scooter, bicycle, or walk.

Wear a dust mask, headphones (to prevent ear pattern recognition) and safety glasses.

Wear a high vis vest while working on the camera. The retro reflective strips show up as dazzling white on infrared cameras, washing out the image. It also helps make any witness assume you’re a legitimate worker

Wear dark clothing with no logos over the top of something dorky, like a white Ralph Lauren shirt and golf shorts. Ditch the dark clothing if you even sense you might be stopped on the way home.

Put duct tape on the soles of your shoes to make the shoe prints indistinct.

Wear gloves, rigger gloves are fine, latex if you have nothing else.

Work quickly, never run (unless your under disguise is a jogging outfit).

if you see a cop, security, or any person that suspects you, believe in your heart and soul that you haven’t committed a crime. Find a way to delete the act from your memory, become an innocent person in your own mind.

Emotional escalation to cop should be indifference, confusion, irritation, indignant, suspicion, and when detained or arrested, lawful but otherwise silent cooperation. That’s how innocent people behave when suspected or accused of a crime. Once detained, say nothing except your name, age, DOB, address, license number ect and “I don’t know, I need to speak to a lawyer.” Even though they will ask you a thousand questions to try to get you to implicate yourself. There is nothing you can say that will talk you out of cuffs.

One thing missing from the list is disguising your gait/walk. I don’t know how far along they are with reconciling databases about it, but the technology to identify you by the way you walk already exists. I hear adding a pebble in your shoe helps.
Damn I knew I forgot something. Good point. I’ve also heard of wearing a different shoe on each foot, like sneaker on one foot and hiking boot on the other, both to fuss up you gate and leave even more conflicting prints.
