It’s a cleverly named 3D-printed slip-on cover designed to fit over those Flock Safety cameras (the automated license-plate readers popping up everywhere). Comes with a pole-mounted adapter so you can deploy it from the ground using a standard 1-inch broomstick or pole—no ladders required. Gravity does the rest. Non-permanent, no screws, no glue, rear cutout for the mount/cable, and the designer even jokes it’s just helping protect the cameras from “harmful radiation of the sun.”
Disclaimer time, loud and clear:
This may or may not be legal depending on your location and local laws. Tampering with or obstructing public/private surveillance equipment can land you in serious legal trouble (vandalism, criminal mischief, obstruction, etc.). I am not condoning the product, its use, or any interference with these devices. Do not do illegal things. This is purely for informational/entertainment purposes.
That said… the engineering, the naming, the passive-aggressive product description, and the pure audacity of a “sun protection accessory” that just happens to block the lens?
It’s peak 3D-printing humor. Equal parts clever, petty, and technically elegant. The kind of thing that makes you chuckle while shaking your head

Check it out for yourself (and maybe just print one as a desk ornament?): The Flock Sock.
Stay legal, folks. And maybe invest in better sunglasses for those cameras instead.
