If you see someone taking down a Flock camera, no, you didn't.

This is great news, it actually means that catching someone who did this isn't as easy as I expected. Like, it took them three days to notice that some of the cameras are missing, plus they have not caught them for another three and had to go public with this embarrassment, so they are probably getting desperate.
Haha, get fucked.
Also, it might be a good idea to flood the online tipping form with random-but-plausible tips, like about the size/weight/color of clothes of the assailant, so anyone snitching will get burried. Don't forget to use a vpn, if you can get one as close as possible.
I mean, yes, but it also occurs to me that Flock is making bank from this campaign.
Yeah I thought about that. If flock cameras kept getting destroyed then someone will pay to replace it and the person paying for it won't be happy about it
I had always assumed they had a GPS chip in them. This makes it sound like that might not be the case. How interesting.
A. That's what insurance is for.
B. Nice of them to publish the locations they consider most valuable to Flock.
C. Expect heightened surveillance and tracking chips on and replacement cameras.
D. They do not fucking cost 3k. They do not cost more than 40 bucks for flock. They're cheap and extremely destructible. The city pays 3k, you pay 3k, you pay more than that with your freedom and privacy.
If your city is so intent on fucking that up, bankrupt them. Make them pay the 3k per unit as many times as you can. Use the deflock map, they're always pointing toward the road(s), go behind and cut them down. Or use a long distance spray paint nozzle, high powered laser, weaponized meth head or whatever.
Who cares what they cost, they will cost you your life if you wait long enough.
Soon people will start shooting them
Its kind of amusing how big media companies spent 3 decades ingraining everyone into gang concepts like "snitches get stiches" but then cry for public help when their dystopian camera network gets taken out.
Welp we just riding on debt and brutality.... fuck it... πΆwho fucking cares not meπΆ

Don't sufficiently powerful lasers permanently damage cameras like that?
A watched a YouTube a while back that it was debunked. Consumer grade lasers cannot do it. Unless you're willing to shell hundreds of bucks and shoot it from a battery pack, it might be easier to accidentally take one down with a hand saw.
No. People tested and you have to get 3 Watt laser which is crazy powerful and keep it really steady on the sensor (from a tripod) fairly close (<<50ft) for at least 5 minutes for any pixels to get fried.
This makes the company money and costs the taxpayer.
I'll sell them back to Flock (or a rival ALPR company) after taking them for half that. But not before putting a virus on it capable of infecting their whole network if they ever use it again.
This is a good idea. Someone should take them apart and point out the vulnerabilities.
Lmao, you can do all that for free right now.
Lol a 3 day window they didn't notice?
We've got one near me that someone has wrapped a bag around with a cardboard sign saying "FLOCK Sees You." That's been like that for probably more than a month now.
