don’t forget to bring a wireless jammer as well if you’re going to take the cameras afterwards.
edit: because of the confusion I’ll spell it out. the jammer isn’t for your phone, it’s for the cameras. they operate off the wireless cell towers and undoubtedly have GPS.
if you’re going to take the cameras afterwards you need to at least disrupt their ability to phone home long enough for you to permanently disable them.
also, don’t think by removing the solar panel you’ll have done that. all the panel does is charge the battery.
Pro tip: don’t use a wireless jammer. Those are illegal and will produce signals that can themselves be tracked. Don’t commit crimes while committing crimes. Instead place the camera in a metal tool box or a Faraday bag.
A practical method:
Obtain a metal toolbox and a big plastic tote.
Carry camera in metal toolbox. (Metal box will block wireless signals.)
Carry toolbox home, do not open it.
Place toolbox inside plastic tote. Fill tote with water to short out the Flock’s electronics.
If you intend to recycle the Flock’s components, that will require building a Faraday cage big enough for you to walk inside.
who’s going to be tracking you? you think the FCC runs around with vans to make sure nobody is breaking regulations?
the only way anyone finds out you have a jammer is if you inconvenience the right person long enough to cause them to investigate and report to the FCC.
if you’re driving through a city, your exposure is about 5-30 seconds per person synchronously.
not to mention most low power jamming hardware has an effective radius of around 15-25 feet.
still don’t believe it? when was the last time you had a random wireless device drop connection and thought, “I bet someone has a jammer!”?

Yeah, get the FCC involved too
I detect some sarcasm.
go ahead, try taking one of these cameras back home with you without disabling the camera first.
at least we’ll see if I’m right or not within a few hours.
No no, you have a point. The other reply says it better than I did
Bad idea. Just don’t bring your cell phone, and make sure you remove the battery
you realize that if you take the cameras they will continue to record and stream because of the built in battery and solar panel…right?
I’m sure they also have GPS in them as well.
the jammer isn’t for your phone, it’s literally for the cameras to not snitch on you and phone home.
It’s also you giving a huge signal to your location.
You really don’t want to have a jammer signal on you alerting everyone what you’re up to if you’re trying to be stealth.
