Shoot the Surveillance Camera
Independent Senate candidate Seth Bodnar shot a decoy Flock surveillance camera in a campaign advert, using a deliberately provocative visual to draw attention to concerns about automated licence-plate readers and the wider data economy. He used the stunt to call for federal limits on surveillance technology.
Why it worked: A visceral, made-for-B-roll stunt dramatized a bipartisan privacy issue and tied it to a fresh federal bill for timely relevance.
The lesson: Consider staging a lawful, visual stress test of a common technology, then peg it to pending legislation and offer specific, fixable standards.
