Leftists are vandalizing Flock Safety cameras across the United States while circulating a map and guides as encouragement, according to activist websites.Anonymous radicals have repeatedly used antifa-affiliated blog platform NoBlogs to coordinate and take credit for attacks on the cameras since 2025, as Flock’s license plate-reading technology sparks backlash, a Washington Examiner review found. The posts shed light on how extremists are riding the wave of anti-surveillance sentiment toward their broader goal of sabotaging law enforcement.
“Every camera is a cop, [thus] destroying one is about half as good as gouging a pig’s eyes,” the NoBlogs site Philly Anti-Capitalist said in a June 2025 post. A March post from the NoBlogs site Smash West also said removing Flock and other surveillance cameras is a way to “build neighborhood power against ICE and police” and set the stage for riots.“The most prominent technological threat to our ability to disappear is cameras,” said a February “armed resistance” guide on “Warzone Distro,” an anarchist NoBlogs site. “In the cities, this now especially means Flock and Ring cameras, as well as traffic cameras, especially those which are able to identify vehicle make, model, color, and supposedly even more details.”‘Spells danger for radicals’
