At least they will be lethal with a slingshot by the time they actually hit the camera

With ice cubes- all evidence will melt away

u/ShhweadyBallz 8h ago

Definitely don't do this to Flock cameras .....

u/Drow_Femboy 8h ago

Those are probably plenty tough enough to handle ice cubes flung by a slingshot lmao

If you want to definitely not get rid of flock cameras you should not buy an angle grinder and by all means avoid cutting through the thin post on which they're mounted in a matter of 20 seconds or less

Sawzall with a metal cutting blade might do the trick as well. Could take a bit longer than 20 seconds though.

Occasionally, you might find the flock camera attached to a different post that belongs to a private business using metal straps. In that case, a good pair of tin snips would do the trick. So be sure not to have those handy as well.

Green laser pen will burn out the sensor, if TikTok rumors can be believed.

Note: If someone with more physics could confirm or debunk, I would not be offended to learn that I am wrong.

u/_demello 8h ago

This is valid and cheap green lasers are easy to aquire nowadays.

u/thelivingdead188 7h ago

Dude I found one that has a key to turn it on and off and the distance it goes is insane. I try not to break it out and play with it because I feel like the FAA is going to show up at my house

u/MisterVonJoni 6h ago

This is misinformation that I keep seeing spread and I swear it was started by Flock themselves so that people don't actually destroy their cameras. To destroy a camera sensor with a laser you need a very strong laser (stronger than most green lasers you'd find on Amazon) and you need to leave it trained precisely on the camera lens for like 10 minutes without moving, from a distance of like 10ft or less.

u/hendergle 6h ago

I stand corrected- although, a definitive source would still be a bonus if you have one.

u/Llyon_ 4h ago

Depends entirely on the camera and the laser.

Not sure about modern phone cameras today, but at a concert with a laser show, a direct hit on your phone camera for even a millisecond was enough to fry it.

The idea of a tactical slingshot is very funny to me. Of course that's a thing.

u/Mikedaddy69 3h ago

It would be terrible if people started using these regularly for Flock Cameras! I certainly would not endorse that!

u/highschoolhero24 2h ago

Camera is low quality and it’s not pointed at OP’s windows. It’s pointed at the owner’s car on the street.

u/Constant_Fee225 2h ago

Air rifles are far more accurate than awful slingshots.

Hey as someone who uses slingshots these kind of slingshots are garbage
