A viral campaign is urging Americans to turn Halloween into “De-Flock America” night and target controversial surveillance cameras while crowds and costumes provide cover.

Posts promoting the campaign have spread rapidly across Instagram and X, calling for Flock Safety cameras to be disabled, covered or destroyed on October 31, 2026.

    Aluminum will clog up grit blades even faster than toothed blades. The problem with aluminum is you need to get rid of the heat, thus make it less likely to stick to the cutter.

      Really? Toothed blades die way faster for me on metal. Granted, I’ve worked more with steel and brass while aluminum is a bit softer, you’re right. Now I’m tempted to grab an aluminum pole from the scrap yard for some tests.

      I’m biased because I already read something on deflocking recommending a recip saw, but maybe they both work fine.
