they’ve started hiding them in street lights now 🫠

Wow that is so sad that people would destruct important infrastructure like that. How do they do it, exactly? How do they evade their surveillance? God, it’s a right shame, all this vandalism. What tools, precisely, can enable one to just break the flock cameras? A right shame. Are the risks high to get caught?

Destroying the tools of oppression is a duty we owe to all our fellow beings.

Also, hi there fed. I know you’re reading this. The oppression of your fellows is a choice you make every day. I hope you reconsider the path you are on. It’s not too late to do better.

Heros, every one of them.

Feeling inspired by this

The workers put up the flock cameras, the workers tear down the flock cameras, the workers get paid for the metal from the flock cameras, and to reinstall flock cameras.

We’ve found a new economy. Make it happen.

Flock, based in Georgia and valued at $8.4bn, says its cameras scan license plates billions of times each month in about 6,000 communities in nearly every state in the US.

Georgia. Of course.

He wrote on a GoFundMe created to pay for legal expenses: “I will take the silver lining that this can be a catalyst in a bigger movement to roll back intrusive surveillance.”

He should move that fundraiser to givesendgo or elsewhere, immediately, based on GoFundMe TOS.

Flock did not comment on vigilantes knocking out its cameras but did publish a blogpost in mid-July about helping government agencies respond if a camera is damaged.

“We’ve planned for it,” the company wrote, adding that protection plans are available for purchase.

😲 J/k

Law enforcement is aware of the backlash and responding. Dozens of state fusion centers – collaborative hubs where federal and local agencies share intelligence about crime and terrorism – circulated memos across law enforcement agencies this summer directing officers to monitor anti-Flock advocacy as part of a directive to protect national security, according to reporting from journalist Dan Boguslaw. One report Boguslaw obtained from a Wisconsin intelligence agency calls for increased vigilance and patrols during protests and events such as a “national week of action” in mid-August. That intelligence digest also advised local law enforcement to report “vandalism, disruption or sabotage” of ALPRs to fusion centers.

What kind of saw are they using? Just saw tooth curious

It’s God’s work, we all know this

Would be funny to emit lots of random info close to those cameras, like if you were many different people walking by…

Drown them in errors.
