They already scan every detail about the car other than the license plate (dents, scratches, color, bumper stickers, etc).

Patent US11416545B1 is for scanning humans.

Flock is insidious. Once the infrastructure is in place, all it takes is an update to turn them into something worse. Do some research, there's plenty of professional information and cases on the risks and "misuse" (working as intended) of these things. Good luck.

Does your company want to give them full access to see whatever you're doing?

Also, your legal department should know that all of this footage is subject to discovery. Do you have control over retention? (Spoiler: no, you don't, "deleted" footage is still retained: https://arstechnica.com/google/2026/02/google-recovers-deleted-nest-video-in-high-profile-abduction-case/ )

I've been curious, would putting a sticker over the camera be enough to justify legal action (say defacing property), or what about putting a bag over it?

I wouldn't suggest doing it, but a big sticker with some info about their spying would be great for drumming up support from your colleges.
