No Mark, the Instagram vigilante who has amassed 700,000 followers, spent an hour in the shadows before disabling a Flock Safety camera. He climbs the pole, tapes the lens, cuts the power, and disappears, leaving a record of his daring.

Flock, a Georgia‑based firm valued at $8.4bn, claims its ALPRs are not mass surveillance tools, scanning license plates billions of times each month in about 6,000 communities. Critics argue the cameras harvest location data without warrants, fueling fears of widespread surveillance.

Other activists have joined the movement, painting slogans, 3‑D printing blockers, and posting fake cease‑and‑desist letters. The Guardian reports at least 33 incidents across 23 states, with vandalism in places like Boulder, Colorado, and Houston, Texas. Some have faced charges—Jeffrey Sovern, Jevon Martinez—while No Mark remains at large, hoping for lenient penalties.

Law enforcement, aware of the backlash, has directed fusion centers to monitor anti‑Flock activity and offered protection plans for damaged cameras. Flock’s CEO, Garrett Langley, denounces privacy critics as “normalizing lawlessness.” The debate over public safety versus privacy intensifies.
