Agreed, though I would expect one to not be carrying anything that could be affected by such a device, whilst deploying said devices. So personal devices don’t count as needing protection AFAIC
If it’s using Bluetooth to knacker them, then all the nearby Bluetooth devices would be vulnerable.
Medical equipment these days also can feature Bluetooth for mobile connectivity, and you can’t exactly go without your defibrillator, hearing aids, or insulin pump.
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.
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?
Lasers would be quite risky. Anything that powerful would also instantly obliterate peoples’ vision if there’s a reflection and it gets them in the eye.
I don’t want a tool to avoid Flock cameras. I want a tool that uses my Bluetooth to turn Flock cameras into bricks.
Portable angle grinder.
Need to figure out a small scale, cheap, EMP device that can be set off to fry the cameras and sensors, but nothing else that is around.
maybe some kinda really directional antenna? like a laser but for the radio range of EM
need to have line of sight and accurate aim, however
Yaggi antenna.
The “Nothing else around” is the hard part of that.

Funny enough, bricks do that.
TIL bricks can assimilate other bricks like the Borg.

I’ve been thinking of buying a slingshot and some paintballs. For another, completely irrelevant purpose though, obviously.

problem is the camera sees you offing it. unless you bloc up way away, and not near your own stuff.
I would think that a simple laser-pointer pointed at the camera would be enough to damage the sensor?

You’ll need around a 1-watt green (532nm) laser pointer. That’s gonna run you about $500 and they’re kinda dangerous.
$60 for a hobbyist who can hook up a module.
True, but like I said, kinda dangerous. I like my eyes.
