Sure, but this is an international thing, Flock is US only. And it’s completely expected to see comments about something US specific written like it’s a global thing (or that nothing outside the US exists) because that’s fucking always the case.
The 'Murica brain, like yours, just can’t comprehend that the vast majority of the world isn’t the US.
Attaching to this to remind everyone that these cameras have sensors to scrape rfid, nfc, tpms, Bluetooth, and wifi ssids as well. They’re not ‘license plate readers’. They’re full suite surveillance systems that’ll capture every ID passing by. Your list of remembered wifi connections in your phone is a trackable fingerprint, and unless you take steps, it’s being broadcast every time you turn on wifi.
Unfortunately, this has a habit of becoming a self-reinforcing need for authoritarian policing.
“Flock camera destruction” becomes the rationale for more cameras and more cops and more draconian punishments. And this cycle continues so long as the public continues to send up corporate shills and industry hacks to fill the municipal offices.
No, you have to go after the local politicians who keep approving these systems. Electorally of course, you psychos. Your local city council rep is going to feel much more pressure from an angry letter from a voter than your senator would.
Ignore the vote! If we don’t vote, it delegitimizes the election and then the local government will be forced to ignore everyone that stayed home and still do the awful thing anyway because the winner is an open fascist.
This is probably one of the few issues you could really get grass roots bipartisan support on these days. It would have to be marketed right though. Maybe something like “DEI cameras”, or “6G posts”.
Cities should be just as afraid of deploying Flock cameras.

Did you know tubing cutters are cheap, portable, and silent in their operation?

The cameras have copper in them too. Probably.

Thats what i keep hearing. I bet they have cameras and maybe sim cards too. Along with a spiffy solar panel.

Oh good to know. I guess we’ll just have to stick with the alternative. Do nothing and watch it happen anyway.

Or not, if push really comes to shove.
But you do have to recognize that you can’t just break the fascade of the machine to get it to stop working.
I heard they’re chock full of copper
Elected officials are loaded with copper.
Follow them around with cameras. They need to feel the dystopian pressure themselves
They will sue you for harassment. Keep in mind that when it’s done to them, it’s “different”.
Vote harder, libs!

Much better alternative!
