Half bullshit

Spread on: Social media and YouTube, July 2026
The real story
People have really vandalised cameras made by US company Flock. But this video shows a man knocking over a different company's camera poles in London. Its narrator was joking about the damage, a detail lost as the clip spread with a new caption.
The fact-checker's verdict: “Miscaptioned”. Our label never goes further than theirs.
How to spot it
Listen for accents and look at road markings and signs; they often reveal a clip was filmed somewhere else.
