Must have been the wind
This is a known issue with flock systems, sometimes they just do that.
Yeah it was really weird. I saw one just destroy itself.
Serious issue.
If the surveillance cameras can’t even catch the persons who removed all of their cameras, then they have proven to be worthless at catching real criminals, with their only proven worth is stalking police officers ex wives.
That's just not true. Sometimes they haven't even met the women they're stalking.
"I was right there with a bodycam when they all tore themselves down but it was turned off for, uh, routine maintenance."
This is a city of ~25K people, so quite small. Several articles have pointed out that the city, not Flock, bears the costs of the vandalism, so in this instance the city counsel that enabled the city to enter into the contract with Flock to the detriment of its citizens have now burdened the city with a substantial budget item. If the cameras are replaced, you can bet that they will likely be torn down again. At some point there will be a reckoning with voters, and hopefully the idiots that enabled the surveillance state will be voted out.
Lol. You know that last sentence is satire or you are an idiot.
Should we all just give up and never resist? Resistance can work.
They don't even have to be voted out if the voters persuade them to resign.
Let me know if you find who did it, so I can go down on them until my jaw rots off.
Holy shit I just had the epiphany of a lifetime. I have that fucking cutter.
E. And I love Paul Newman
They're easy to cut down for now. The next step is going to be making them radio antenna's that mount on light poles so they're way harder to see or reach. The camera function will get removed, since it isn't needed anyway.
No, they've already released the next step - it's a drone that watches from 2 kilofeet up.
Theyre already on light poles I'm petty sure. My flock detector went off in a part of a road that's only trees and utility poles
I thought Winona had a big brown beaver...perhaps I was mistaken
Flock off
Flock just pocketed another $3k to replace this one. Really showing them.
And the municipality doesn’t even own the camera. The Flock contracts are wild, and cities are dumb enough to sign them.
Yeah, but, it cost the city 3k then 3k after that. Hopefully lead them to cancle the contract
It won't, the politicians get kickbacks, they're literally happy to see them destroyed so they can dip into public funds again.
And until all employees and major shareholders are killed this will remain a problem, but this isn't nothing.
Maybe a government that works against the will of the people shouldn't be funded by them?
I mean there's a reason the founding fathers debated how often an government should be revolted against and that ranged from 20-100 years. No surprise our country is going to shit around 250 years old.
This is all stuff people in the 1700s saw coming, because human nature wasn't different back then, they already experienced it. They just didn't think we would let it get so bad for so long, they certainly didn't!
Short term, maybe. Long term? Who knows. I foresee several lawsuits in the future
I ain’t did it, I ain’t know who did it, and I ain’t never gonna convict anybody charged for doing this or any similar so-called crime if I’m on the jury
Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car’s location, date, and time. They also capture your car’s make, model, color, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points. These cameras collect data on millions of vehicles—regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. While these systems can be useful for tracking stolen cars or wanted individuals, they are mostly used to track the movements of innocent people.
