Comment on Across the US, people are dismantling and destroying Flock surveillance cameras. Anger over ICE connections and privacy violations is fueling the sabotage.

  The fun part is that these cameras are not owned, operated or property of your local jurisdiction. They are hardware/software as a service. IANAL, but I think Flock would have to sue you.

  I have not personally de-flocked anything, but my local area doesn’t have any that aren’t tied to a business parking lot.

  If some show up, I can’t imagine a 5 minute walk with a hat, face mask and a can of spraypaint wouldn’t be sufficient to disable one without risk. Might need a stool.

    The flock cameras local to me only face one direction, which makes it a little easier. Still better mask up.

    Every time I see one I get curious about the solar panel. Wonder how much non-nazi stuff it could run?

  The shitty part is it’s your tax dollars you’re smashing, but you’d think they’d get the hint and just give up on it.
