Man Arrested After Allegedly Cutting Down Flock Safety Cameras And Bringing Them To Sheriff’s Headquarters

A New Mexico man was arrested on Wednesday after he allegedly arrived at the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Department headquarters with a truck bed full of Flock Safety cameras.

“The same man was recently accused of damaging Flock cameras in Rio Rancho,” KOB 4 wrote.

KOB 4 shared further:

Authorities arrested Jevon Martinez for damaging Flock cameras in Rio Rancho in May. Then, Wednesday, he posted video on social media appearing to show him driving around Albuquerque and taking down automated license plate readers once again.

In those videos, he comments that since the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office ended its contract with Flock last month, those cameras should no longer be out on the streets.

“Just for the record, I am not stealing these. I am not destroying them. I am simply returning them to the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Department,” he said in one video.

Martinez, who goes by “Johnvon Thechamp” on social media, said his issue isn’t with BCSO, but rather with Flock, whose automated license plate readers have become a major topic of controversy around the country.

The cameras can track locations and store identifying information about your vehicle, and there have been concerns police have been using the cameras for personal matters such as tracking former romantic partners.

“They are a clear and present threat to public safety,” Martinez previously said about the license plate reader cameras.

The Sheriff’s Office recently ended its three contracts with Flock security, according to BCSO Sheriff John Allen.

well I commend this man for action in what he believes!! I am against taking out surveillance because of the amount of scum in society, but if youre against it, instead of sitting behind a keyboard and go out and back up your talk, well then I tip my hat!!

I hope his slap on the wrist is not too painful!

Charge the idiot with the damage. When they need to go back up, call the perp. He’ll do it.

“You know how it is, small town, not much to do in the evenin’. Mostly was just settling old scores”.

Who thinks these stupid things are not an invasion of privacy. Straight out of ‘1984’?

It’s on YouTube now for free. Probably watched it twenty times.

I crack up when I see Paul and Strother together in “Slapshot”.

She was cast well for the scene and her dialogue must have been great, because she sure could communicate.
