Man Arrested for Allegedly Taking Down Flock Cameras
Martinez faces nine felony charges after posting videos of himself removing automated license plate readers, officials said.
- On Wednesday, Bernalillo County Sheriff deputies arrested Jevon Martinez after he arrived at headquarters with multiple Flock cameras in his pickup truck. Martinez, known online as "Johnvon Thechamp," surrendered peacefully to law enforcement.
- Martinez claimed he was returning the devices because BCSO recently ended three contracts with Flock. He frequently labels the automated license plate readers "tyranny trees" and cites concerns regarding governmental overreach.
- Records indicate Martinez faces nine felony charges, including larceny and criminal damage to property. Authorities previously arrested him in Rio Rancho in May, and supporters from the "Republic of New Mexico" movement have expressed concern for his safety.
- While BCSO maintains the incident remains under investigation, Martinez has a preliminary hearing scheduled for September 22 regarding his earlier Rio Rancho arrest. Officials are currently reviewing the case.
- Agencies nationwide have terminated contracts with Flock Safety this year amid growing controversy over surveillance capabilities. Critics argue the technology can track personal locations and store vehicle data without sufficient oversight.
