    Someone pays for every camera that goes down. It just is not Flock.

    The bolt cutters do not send Flock an invoice. They send one to the city.

    That’s the point. People know their city has to pay for these things, and the patriotic act of cutting down these cameras means that each camera down makes the Flock contract just that much more expensive to maintain. Cities aren’t going to cut budget items just to keep the ever-increasing costs of maintaining a Flock contract. They’ll drop the contract.

    I do agree that people should be publicly commenting and contacting their city council members as well. Demoralizing the politicians who vote for this is important as well.

      YUP, keep cutting them AND harass bad acting politicians, these people are not acting in good faith and have to be confronted and pressured past going to a townhall and pointing out their corrupt since they won’t listen and will just have you dragged out be security.

      Police can only arrest so many and if they start abusing people, or worse, ‘escalate’. if your not capable of doing then then I suggest moving if you can, if your not able to do that either, then I guess your just going to have to enjoy authoritarianism like a coward.

      Authoritarianism has never been defeated without at least the courcion of violence being present.

        Nope, keep cutting them AND harass bad acting politicians,

        That’s precisely what I said. We are actually in agreement!

        Not for lack of trying. Why do you think ICE is hurrying to build out all their concentration camps.

      Hack the cameras and tell city council about their vehicles location throughout the week.
