3D-Printing Hobbyist Posts $0 Flock Camera Cover as Anger Over AI Surveillance Grows

3 articles · Updated · Yahoo · Aug 16

SquidInk uploaded a 3D-printable “Flock Sock” designed to slip over Flock AI cameras in seconds without glue, screws or permanent damage.
The cover is pitched as a safer alternative to trash bags, paint or foam, using a built-in adapter that lets users raise it with a 1-inch broom handle.
Flock commonly uses 3 camera models, and the creator said profiles for the other 2 are in development so more units can be covered.
Privacy fears around Flock cameras hardened after reports of police misuse and mistaken apprehensions, prompting some jurisdictions to remove the systems.
Tampering with the cameras still likely risks charges including vandalism, criminal mischief, property damage and obstruction, even if the device is marketed as removable.
