I wonder how long until destruction or removal of these will be considered an act of domestic terrorism…

I would have directed you to the 4th amendment to the constitution, but those are apparently suggestions instead of rights with the current judicial system.

Our current government took its cue from Drew Carry.

Everything’s made up, and the points don’t matter.

I mean for gods sake! One of our senators has been dead for weeks, and they’re just weekend at mcconnels over here.

Washington State (IIRC) is working on a law that exempts flock from FOIA requests. So that’s not far behind.

The residents need to work on an election that exempts anyone who doesn’t come out against this bill from being in the government.

I’m stating it now: This is an insurance scam/propaganda scare by Flock to shore up more money and “excuses” for their cameras 😉

Take that as you will.

Makes me think about those Meta glasses, how those cameras are capable of facial recognition, and they’re so small you could easily hide them anywhere. These giant black cameras on poles right out in the open could be a red herring… I dunno. With the way things have been going, it wouldn’t surprise me.

Hercules was with me all night. We were doing competitive pushups.

He won. Because he’s awesome, and he can balance a spoon on his nose, and he tore down soooooo many flock cameras…I mean…no, not that last one. I don’t know why I said that. He was with me all night in the garage doing push-ups.

Kevin Sorbo played Hercules in the 90s TV series, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Kevin Sorbo is also a huge christofacist and a downright piece of shit. So he deserves to be thrown under the bus here

Replacing the stolen license plate readers will cost Winona roughly $24,000 total.

That’s one possible response to them being removed, I suppose.

False sense of security.
Automated system that cannot protect itself (I’m not mad tho).

But why the city needs to pay for the new cameras?
Who is the owner? No insurance?

When I think of an automated system that can protect itself, ED-209 comes to mind for some reason.

In a lot of cases, from what I’ve heard, the local police pay Flock to put them cameras up, then continue to pay Flock to utilize them. From Flock’s perspective it’s an insanely good business model.

From the perspective of a citizen who’s paying for it, I hope everyone working for Flock d- actually, never mind.
