This GTA V mod lets you destroy Flock cameras. Its creator explains why.
Artist Morry Kolman tells Mashable why his GTA V mod adds 235 Flock cameras to Los Santos — and rewards players for destroying them.
Los Santos, a fictional city in Grand Theft Auto V, now has a new way for players to get in trouble: a mod that adds 235 virtual Flock license plate reader cameras to the game. Creators Morry Kolman, also known as WTTDOTM, installed these cameras throughout Los Santos, inspired by the real-world Flock surveillance system that captures images of vehicles to help law enforcement locate wanted cars.
However, rather than blending into the game, the cameras become a stark reminder of constant surveillance. When players unknowingly drive past a camera, there's a slim chance it could trigger an unprovoked police chase, demonstrating the potential for false reports. Kolman, an artist, created the mod to give players a tangible sense of how invasive Flock cameras can be in everyday life.
By destroying these cameras, players earn $600 in game currency and can experience the unpredictability of living under surveillance.
