One of the most effective ways to take down Flock cameras? FOIA/PRA requests.

Camera Locations Records identifying: -The number and location of cameras deployed -Maps, GIS datasets, or inventories of surveillance devices -Any classification of cameras as public, private-partner, or third-party integrated cameras (If precise coordinates are withheld, provide generalized location records or district-level inventories.) 4.
