The sheer naked contempt this company has for citizens and the law is staggering.
Is there some positive way to identify Flock cameras based on bluetooth/wifi/other signals they're putting out?
There was a talk at defcon about this. I’m on mobile but you should be able to find the esp32 firmware for their detector on github.
Perhaps "Flock-You Detection", by SimeonOnSecurity?

I can’t overemphasize how happy I am that people are taking the surveillance threat that Flock represents seriously. Ordinarily, the “I haven’t done anything wrong so I have nothing to worry about” fallacy tends to dominate the discussion.
