GTA V mod adds Flock-style cameras players can destroy

A mod for the PC version of Grand Theft Auto V installs replicas of Flock Safety–style automated license-plate cameras across Los Santos and lets players damage or destroy the units. The package was published to PC modding communities and is available to users who run the game with standard mod tools.

The add-on places camera models at streetside locations and hotspots in the game world. Players can approach the units, view them closely and use firearms, explosives or vehicles to render the devices inoperative as in-game objects.

The modification affects only local single-player installs or privately hosted modded servers where the files are installed. It does not alter Rockstar Games’ official online multiplayer servers.

Installer notes included with the download say the mod adds new object models and scripts to game files. Cameras are placed at fixed locations by default but users can change positions or remove units by editing configuration files. The mod author advises backing up game files before installation and recommends using the mod only in single-player or private sessions, noting that using mods in Rockstar’s online multiplayer can violate the game’s terms of service.

The camera models are based on the appearance and concept of commercial automated license-plate-reading systems used by some law enforcement agencies and neighborhood groups. Those systems capture and log vehicle information and are promoted for aiding investigations. Privacy advocates and some local officials have raised concerns about the scope of data collection and potential misuse, prompting public debate and, in some cases, local reviews or restrictions on deployments.

Players and community members have discussed the mod in forums and social channels. Some described using the addon to test routes and tactics that avoid in-game detection, while others noted the mod reproduces a specific form of contemporary surveillance rather than a generic security camera. The files and custom configurations continue to circulate within PC modding hubs where users share installation tips and placement presets.

Because the mod modifies local game files, its effects remain confined to the single-player experience or private servers where players have installed the files and do not affect the official multiplayer environment.
