Comment on Police Told to Be ‘as Vague as Permissible’ About Why They Use Flock

  Not much within the legal window. Maybe petition for its removal.

  Unrelated, but I believe an axe and a mask usually work pretty well on most electronic devices. Driving out of town, walking back in on a non flock path, ensuring you have a “limp” as well as non descriptive/logoless clothes, and ensuring you have no devices on you, are all great general opsec tips as well.

    In other places, people have done all sorts of legal things in front of ALPRs, from presenting them with a steady stream of license plate photos of law enforcement vehicles from out of state, to putting on plays, dance performances and other forms of entertainment in front of them and then submitting FOIA requests for the footage since they’re being consumed (indirectly) by the government. In states that have actual privacy laws, people are requesting all information Flock has on them from the company in order to verify that it is accurate.

  People in my neighborhood constantly cut speed cameras down every other week, do with this as you will.

  I bet it’s not too hard to cover it in paintballs or find a way to make it fall off a pole

  I wonder if lasers ruin them like older cameras?

    If you get a big enough laser, anything is possible.

    Infrared lasers used in lidar systems will damage phone cameras, so likely will fry surveillance cameras as well. You can buy 1550nm lasers used as illuminators for night vision systems. Probably want a Class 2 or 3.

    Bullet through the battery should be pretty effective. Surely they are lithium batteries. They catch fire if they get a hole in 'em.

      I was just thinking the laser thing could be something they may not be able to identify the cause of, a bullet they would know someone shot it. Which is probably ok if you are smart about doing one, but if you want to do all of them, something sneaky would be better.
