GoKawiilGTA 5 mod lets players destroy replica Flock surveillance cameras for cash
A new Grand Theft Auto 5 mod called Grand Theft Automated License Plate Reader, created by Morry Kolman, adds 235 fictional Flock-style cameras to Los Santos that track players' movements and report crimes to in-game police. Players can destroy the cameras using weapons like rocket launchers, earning $600 per camera based on the estimated cost of a real Flock camera's components, and can even race against a timer to beat their best destruction time.

The mod mirrors a real-world backlash against Flock's automated license plate readers, which critics say are inaccurate and prone to misuse by law enforcement, fueling a 'deflock' movement of vandalism and contract cancellations across US cities. By gamifying camera destruction, the mod turns a real policy fight over surveillance and privacy into playable protest, potentially raising public awareness of Flock's spread.
