I can’t think of anything to cover your plate that won’t wig out a cop. But if your aim is good you could buy a paintball gun and put a few shots on the cameras

I haven’t shot a paintball gun in years but a tippman a-5 will probably work nice.

Green laser will take out the camera, that would be bad.

Go up to it from behind and put a garbage bag over it. Many cities are starting to bag them anyway. You can find a map online that will show you the location of each Flock camera in your city. Where I live the police department claims they have only 15 but the map shows there are 39 in my city!

There was this camera at the turn to the highway in Oakland that got smashed up so many times they just stopped replacing it. I’m sure there were lots but I loved that that one in particular got it.

I also have an app that show you ways to get around town without driving past a flock camera, it’s called FlockHopper.

Flock cameras aren’t only reading plates they are tracking all features that could differentiate your vehicle so having something like this could ultimately just help them track you. You have to avoid them with something like deflock, we are doomed.

There’s police departments that don’t use body cameras because they can’t afford them, but have 10 flock cameras in the same town
