It's almost as if the world would be better off if those Flock cameras with the solar panels and the flashing lights were all vandalized and destroyed...

My local Lowe's and Home Depot have the only Flock cameras in my county (for now, anyway).
Someone tell Rossmann.
The Home Depot nearest to where I used to live had cameras in the tools section ... Which is fine, but whenever they noticed a person in view, they would turn on the attached screens and play a tone every ten seconds or so. I guess it was to remind you that you were being surveilled?
Anyway, I always found them intrusive, annoying and offensive. I'm not surprised they've become part of a larger problem.

The Australian equivalent got into trouble for trying something similar (without the flock integration) recently.
Kmart too.

I've been assuming I'm under surveillance each time I drive for decades at this point, starting with red-light cameras. The trend was never going to be toward fewer cameras with everything being sandboxed and tight restrictions on sharing.
I wouldn’t be surprised if all major retailers did the same thing. Target, for example, is a major donor to the police.
To run a chain with stores across the country and millions in merchandise, you must have gotten used to the taste of boot leather. What’s another little lick?

Let me take this opportunity to say Fuck Lowes. Also while I will shop at home dept in a pinch, support your local hardware stores every chance you get. And in US consider finding an ACE franchise which are usually locally owned and operated. The service at either is a literal shock in difference to the big box store corporate hell scape and price gauging.
