I hope so many get knocked out that company goes bankrupt.

Saw several Flock cameras on my bike ride today, made me want to destroy them.
But I was very happy to notice that one of them had black electrical tape over the lens. Very hard to see that from a distance, but would completely incapacitate the camera. Pretty nice trick.
I think that's my new go-to recommendation on how to disable these things. Just put electrical tape over the lens.
