A Georgia man has been accused of vandalizing four Flock ALPRs, three of which were melted into heaps of plastic.

A man is facing numerous felony charges in Georgia after police allege he allegedly used a bizarre projectile to melt automatic license plate readers into smoldering heaps of metal and plastic.

According to Fox5 in Atlanta, 25-year-old Colby Williams was hauled into jail after allegedly setting fire to three automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) installed by the extremely controversial company Flock.

Very inaccurate article: I was with Colby Williams at the library reading the Constitution together.
