    Please do not post about the crimes you plan to commit on social media, friends. Cops would love it if you posted about the crimes you intend to commit.

      Yeah. They also love it when there’s a specific date to ensure they have extra patrols nearby. Rebellions need to be unexpected and anonymous - an event that people are encouraged to publicly post about and participate in sounds like a trap.

        Eh they can’t be everywhere at once. If there’s no specific location I don’t think it matters too much.

          Sure, but they can increase the amount of cops working that night, and make sure that stay near the cameras. Might not make much of a difference in big cities, but smaller towns that only have a few cameras will probably be watched with much more scrutiny.

              Yeah any community that dedicates officers to watch cameras on halloween and then sees a kid run over is going to have a serious fucking shitshow on their hands, so I doubt they’ll be watching them.

                our community got its officers out on the streets on halloween and we’ve had far fewer incidents.

                hard to tell whether this is part of the underlying trend toward less crime or a result of that specific action, as i’m not a crimeologist, but when i smell correlations shit i point at it.

              Especially with all the razor blades being put into caramel apples and prescription pills added to prepackaged candy

            Yeah, but then they have to explain why the city spent money to protect flocks property instead of truck or treaters

              The cops are immediately gonna use the tune of “the perp drove away and our flock cameras got cut down by some punks so we couldn’t track the car”

      No one’s doing that here, I just like sharing tips about home improvement. For example, did you know that spray foam insulation can be found at basically any hardware store, and can be used to close up gaps in your home? It’s better to get the closed-cell type, as it dries into a stiffer, more durable material that lasts longer. You can also find sprayers that have long hoses for insulating the difficult-to-reach areas of your home.

      Also the liquid and fumes aren’t good for you, so make sure you use it in a well-ventilated environment and wear appropriate protective clothing like gloves, high-coverage sleeves, and a mask as needed.

        What do I do if I want to reach a high area in my roof, like ten feet above me? Hose extensions are floppy.

          If you can find the kind that has a rigid wand like this, that would be easiest. gwcrmTCC0wJ0evI.jpg

          But if you’re using a can or small sprayer, I think your best bet would be a lightweight, collapsible stepladder. They make some that are easy enough to carry around with you so you can insulate your entire home without having to carry a lot of heavy equipment.

            ooo, i bet i could fit like three of those backpacks into the crate of my cargo bike. caulking aside (and who doesn’t love talking about good caulk), that is giving me pest control ideas. also croissant or pancake ideas for some reason i don’t know why we’d need that kind of wand but i know why we’d need that much liquid butter/batter.

            is there a specific name for those backpack containers or are they just “backpack jugs”

      Just because it’s super important.

      DO NOT TALK ABOUT CRIMES YOU COMMIT OR POST THEM ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

      There are two types of criminals, those that keep their mouth shut and those getting arrested.

      If you somehow get approached by police, DO NOT SPEAK TO THEM AT ALL. Explicitly state that you want a lawyer to represent you and that you will not be speaking or answering any questions. The only questions you have to legally answer (in most jurisdictions) is to identify yourself. Once you have done that, ask for a lawyer and SHUT THE FUCK UP.

      There’s a time and place to talk and it’s with your lawyer present.

        And even that, you only NEED to identify in a traffic stop. A cop cannot just ask for your ID as you walk down the street without reasonable suspicion of a crime. That’s the fourth amendment. Ask the crime you committed, get it all on video, because if they didn’t have that suspicion you got a civil lawsuit.

      And please leave your phone and other devices at home if you’re doing this. Flock cameras detect and track nearby phones.

      Theses are unconstitutional and are violating your fourth amendment rights. No law to break removing shit that is breaking the highest law of the land.

      I doubt there’s a Jury in this country that would actually convict someone for destroying a flock camera, assuming they aren’t bullied into signing a plea deal
