At least 25 Flock Safety cameras have been destroyed in five states since April 2025, with incidents concentrated after local councils overrode public opposition. Primary records show systematic removals in Suffolk, Virginia (13 cameras), La Mesa, California (2), and Eugene, Oregon (6), often involving pole severance and component extraction. One Virginia defendant, tracked via surviving units, faces 25 charges after posting a GoFundMe citing Fourth Amendment concerns.

Flock networks in 6,000 communities enable over 4,000 immigration-tagged lookups, including direct Border Patrol access in Washington state agencies and cross-state queries in a Texas school district. Virginia logs alone record nearly 3,000 such searches in 12 months. These figures, drawn from internal query logs, contradict company statements limiting federal partnerships.

Council votes in La Mesa and San Diego proceeded despite majority opposition at public meetings, followed within weeks by targeted camera damage on the same corridors. Similar sequences appear in both Democratic- and Republican-led jurisdictions, indicating decentralized response to automated plate scanning rather than isolated vandalism.
