I don’t want a tool to avoid Flock cameras. I want a tool that uses my Bluetooth to turn Flock cameras into bricks.

Funny enough, bricks do that.
If you want a tool that turns Flock cameras into bricks, all you need is a brick.
... Or wire cutters, or a big hammer, or an angle grinder, or a drill, or a large rock, or a can of spray paint, etc, etc, etc. They're not terribly resilient against physical damage.
I've been thinking of buying a slingshot and some paintballs. For another, completely irrelevant purpose though, obviously.
Remember to mask up when you're going out playing with paintballs -- for covid safety! Wear sunglasses, too -- you don't want eye damage from the bright sunlight.
Oh, and perhaps most importantly, leave your phone at home. Wouldn't want to accidentally hit your phone with a paintball, would you?
Could have easily called that Flock Off
just walking a mile down a road i haven't been down in years, i spotted two of them. there's been absolutely no local coverage about it.. and scanning local municipal and town meeting minutes for the last several years--not one mention of them.
In Socal we're scanned by more than 18 cameras just driving 8 miles to Costco.
Couldn't I just run for president and abuse my "power" like Trump, but instead of doing lots of bad I could do good? Id start by making all these executive orders to raise wealth taxes, ban invasive technologies, limit social media influence, or big tech's reach into buying out politicians, etc...
Think Robin Hood but on a presidential scale.
You could try.
My wager is you'd be assassinated, but for a glorious and short time you'd be the most successful American president in history.
