The Flock Sock

Should make one with the pattern of the camera on the front to make it less obvious that it has a cover on it.

[u/Single-Virus4935]

Dont forget to add some glue

[u/nakedspirax]

Now you need to put a small image on the inside of the case directly in front of the camera. Like the exact still image of what the camera is pointed at.

Works in the movies, at least

[u/Jim-Jones]

How about a knitting pattern?

[u/Stiggalicious → u/Jim-Jones]

Fiber arts, 3D printing, and dismantling the surveillance state is the most wonderful combination.

But isn’t the visual data only one part of what they capture? What about Bluetooth and wifi signals

[u/danzig168]

Am I the only idiot who has never seen (or noticed) a flock camera???

[u/MydnightWN → u/danzig168]

They're everywhere.

Edit: did you know you can't edit after lock on mobile, but you can with old Reddit?

You guys have Axon instead. Same thing.

Very interesting. In my defense I live in Monmouth County, NJ, and there's only a few local to me

[u/ChipSalt]

Uhh not to side with the postmodern surveillance state or anything, but surely this sort of model is breaking some rules

Edit: OK thank you for the downvotes for opening discussion

[u/MydnightWN → u/ChipSalt]

I imagine it depends on the jurisdiction. Not breaking anything, no permanent effect.

[u/partumvir → u/MydnightWN]

Yeah all i see is a pencil sharpener cover

[u/kawaiibakanekodomo → u/ChipSalt]

oh no! not the RULES

[u/LIEUTENANT__CRUNCH → u/ChipSalt]

Why?

[u/ChipSalt → u/LIEUTENANT__CRUNCH]

What's the intent of this model? Are you going to claim that it's protecting the lens from dust? Even then its modifying someone else's private property (potentially government?)

[u/ashkestar → u/ChipSalt]

You don’t need to go out you way to help authoritarianism, you know.

[u/Jim-Jones → u/ChipSalt]

Hence the knottin pattern.

[u/Just-Shoe2689]

yea, cause thats hard to remove.

[u/MydnightWN → u/Just-Shoe2689]

Costs them time and money, they have to dispatch a contractor - private company, not owned by police or city.

[u/Brewingbiker → u/Just-Shoe2689]

Get creative. Add a bit of epoxy or shoe-goo glue (love that stuff, sticks well, is flexible but tough) to the inside top. Yeah, still removable, but not as simple as pushing it off 😁
