Man Charged With 3 Felonies For Breaking 3D

Oviedo, Florida police charged a man with three felonies for cutting down an officer's 3D-printed decoy Flock surveillance camera.

After several real Flock Safety cameras were stolen in Oviedo between July 23 and August 3, 2026, police replaced them with 3D-printed decoys built by an officer at home and monitored the fakes. Evan Meyer was arrested after midnight and charged with attempted grand theft, criminal mischief over $1,000, and property crimes against computer equipment, despite the decoy costing only a few dollars of filament. Mayor Megan Sladek said she had no idea the sting was underway, and the department claims no records of the decoy's creation exist, citing an ongoing investigation.
