    I heard Flock and other traffic cameras have had issues lately with people using paintball guns on them. Something about how easy it is to buy those and they can be quietly used. Real shame these punk kids keep vandalizing these corporations products, it must be terribly expensive.

      Yes, expensive for you and the other taxpayers who pay for them.

        I can only speak for me, but I’m happy to keep making the state replace expensive cameras. More time focused replacing them means less new ones, and less uptime.

        We can’t choose what they spend the money on, but we can collectively let them know when they fuck up.
