The cameras are relatively cheap, easily traceable if moved, newer models scan for nearby devices and log them, and the poles are fairly cheap to repair. Coupled with the penalties for tampering with them, that seems like a less effective action than trying to stop them from being put up in the first place. Either action will likely draw increased police attention in the area.
Realistically, most of the uproar about Flock is more of a distraction from all the other ways there are to track you. For example, even if you leave your phone at home, your car might have a cellular radio in it pinging towers and giving away its location and where it has been. Flock cameras, on the other hand, are primarily used to locate a wanted vehicle or to catch suspicious behavior. Eventually reducing the need for cops driving around looking for such. Thus, getting the same or more coverage for less money. And in the end, all the uproar is just free advertising for Flock. Like all the Ring doorbell uproar previously.
