    Stealing them is felony grand theft.

    Vandalizing them is a misdemeanor (typically, check your local laws and also don’t do crimes).

    If they were all stolen, it’s an easy PR ‘woe is us, think of the children’ win for Flock.

    If there’s a bunch of social media posts that are showing chopped down flock cameras just laying on the side of the road then it has better optics from the point of view of ‘We don’t want country-wide surveillance networks’.
