DO NOT point a minimum 1000nm wavelength green laser at Flock cameras. It will not damage the sensor and render the camera ineffective. Flock cameras DO NOT contain over a half ounce of easily recyclable silver. The camera, router, solar panel, and battery, WILL NOT fetch over $1000 on the secondary market. Flock is purely for your safety with NO OTHER AGENDA.

In UK the residents just cut the cameras down. They call them blade runners. Here in Australia we paint over them and block them. Why do Americans deep-throat the boot instead of defending themselves? Are the police going to shoot you for offending the Jews if you broke a flock camera? I don't get i
πŸ”΄ I highly recommend learning about Islam... πŸ”΅ There is no salvation in the afterlife except by following Islam ⚠️ God has said in the Quran: πŸ”΅ { O mankind, worship your Lord, who created you and those before you, that you may become righteous - ( 2:21 ) πŸ”΄ [He] who made for you the earth a bed [spread out] and the sky a ceiling and sent down from the sky, rain and brought forth thereby fruits as provision for you. So do not attribute to Allah equals while you know [that there is nothing similar to Him]. ( 2:22 ) πŸ”΅ And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant [Muhammad], then produce a surah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah, if you should be truthful. ( 2:23 ) πŸ”΄ But if you do not - and you will never be able to - then fear the Fire, whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.( 2:24 ) πŸ”΅ And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow. Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, "This is what we were provided with before." And it is given to them in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally. ( 2:25 )} ⚠️ Quran
πŸ’― on the sentiment. I think the laser spec might be a typo. A typical green laser is 532nm, as color is a function of wavelength. 1,000nm is outside the visible spectrum. I'm thinking it should say 1,000 mW referring to the power necessary to damage the camers's sensor. Looks like these run around $600 on initial search, so I agree that even with this additional info, you should NOT do this.

Uk had carbon capture cameras for a long time now. They had certain zones if you entered it logged your license plate and if you left the zone it charged you for driving in that zone. Usa flock cameras are new. They just started popping up recently as in last year or so.
Using cameras to track license plates dates to the 1970s, when the U.K. was embroiled in a long-simmering conflict with the Irish Republican Army. The Met, London’s police force, developed a system that used closed-circuit television cameras to monitor and record the license plates of vehicles entering and exiting major roads. The system and its successors were seen as useful crime fighting tools. Over the next two decades, they expanded to other cities in the U.K. and around the world. In 1998, U.S. Customs and Border Protection implemented this technology. By the 21st century, it had started appearing in cities across the U.S. There are different ways for a jurisdiction to implement these systems, but local governments usually sign contracts with private companies that provide the hardware and service. These companies often entice authorities with free trials of surveillance equipment and promises of free access to their data in ways that bypass local oversight laws. AI thrown into the mix Recently, AI has been incorporated into these camera systems, significantly increasing their reach. The vehicle information that’s captured is typically stored in the cloud, creating a massive web of data repositories. If a camera collects information from a suspect’s car or truck – say, one also listed in the National Crime Information Center – AI can flag it and send an instant alert to local law enforcement. In fact, that’s a selling point of Flock Safety, one of the biggest providers of automatic license plate readers. The company uses infrared cameras to capture images of vehicles.
Agree but 1000nm is not green but infrared. Anyway there is a tech where an AI can locate hidden cameras by lenses reflection. Add that to a drone with a laser and teach them to take out every single camera they see around. Hope people would not do that...
I DO NOT RECOMNEND THIS. (Learn about good OpSec when buying things and programming devices).
