The police say that over the weekend, officers found the poles the cameras were mounted on had been cut down and the cameras were gone. Flock cameras are stirring controversy across the country as they compile license plate and other vehicle details in a national database.

    If I saw someone sawing down a Flock camera, I probably didn’t see anyone.

    They actually don’t own the cameras though. They rent them for $3,500 annually.

      Yeah, aren’t these things there to prevent vandalism?

        They are to prevent freedoms. Nothing to do with vandalism

    I imagine there are also some low level cops relieved to see them gone but don’t want to say so publicly. After all, AI is coming for their jobs too. Pretty soon buying a state patrolman a Honda Goldwing to patrol the highway will be an impossible sell when we could just strap a few more cameras to a pole or fly a drone. Everyone but the bootlickiest of the bootlickers will eventually hit their breaking point with this increasing public surveillance, just not until it goes poorly for them personally.

      If they were capable of thinking that holistically and with foresight, they would not be allowed to be hired as cops.

      I waa trying and probably failing to explain to someone that no matter who you are or what you believe, one day the fascists will demand of you something you don’t want to do.

      Even if you’re a cop.

    Wait, the cameras couldn’t tell you that?

    Must not have been very effective.

    They’re basically traffic cams, right? So it’s probably a Winona Ryder
