Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car’s location, date, and time. They also capture your car’s make, model, color, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points. These cameras collect data on millions of vehicles—regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. While these systems can be useful for tracking stolen cars or wanted individuals, they are mostly used to track the movements of innocent people.

With a 3D printer and a lot of free time, a police department in Florida caught a Flock security camera vandal in the act. Now, he’s facing prison.

As Flock security cameras propagate, more people are taking matters into their own hands by dismantling them.

The situation has gotten so bad in certain states that police departments are also taking matters into their own hands by building fake Flock cameras.

The Oviedo police department caught 24-year-old Evan Meyer cutting down and smashing what he thought was a Flock surveillance camera. Instead, what he dismantled was a 3D-printed decoy.

If I paid taxes in that county, I would be mildly annoyed that the police department I fund spends my money on 3D printers and filament to print fake Flock cameras - not to mention the salary of the flatfoot tasked to set up the decoy instead of being on the beat.
