AITA for blocking a camera that was taking pictures of my house and everyone on my street?
I was outside today when I noticed this thing driving around.
They were taking pictures of people’s houses, yards, cars, and basically everyone driving down the road.
I didn’t know what it was or why it was taking pictures, so I stood in front of it to block it.
The people working it got mad and told me to move.
This man refused to move.
I refused because I didn’t think some random camera should be allowed to photograph people’s property, houses, and everything around it.
Eventually, they threatened to call the police, and I left.
I also tried to move the thing out of the way, which made them very angry.
Then they tried to tell me it wasn’t taking pictures.
He didn’t believe the responses of the people taking pictures.
I think they were lying about what they were doing there.
Because why does it have a huge camera lens if it’s not taking pictures?
I didn’t believe anything they said.
I wanted to call the police, but I figured they probably wouldn’t do anything about it.
Now, he’s wondering if he was right to block the cameras.
I just don’t understand how people can drive around photographing everyone’s homes, cars, and yards.
And we’re all supposed to just accept it.
Especially with Flock cameras already everywhere, it feels like there is absolutely no privacy anymore.
So, AITA for blocking it and trying to move it?
It’s understandable to feel uncomfortable when an unfamiliar vehicle appears to be recording your neighborhood.
However, blocking or physically moving someone else’s things could create unnecessary trouble.

OP would have been better off asking the workers for identification and checking what company was operating it before taking further action.
