While some cities are moving to end their contracts with Flock over its links to ICE, others are taking matters into their own hands.

    There’s nothing more American than destroying a Flock camera

    Any RAM or storage in those things? That solar panel looks useful.

      That solar panel looks useful.

      Since I have never gone out in nondescript black clothing at night to destroy these things, I can’t say from firsthand knowledge…

      But yes, yes they are. They make great trickle chargers for large batteries that only get used intermittently. Or string several together and enjoy an ebike battery charger. I have a similarly sized and shaped panel I found somewhere that I use to charge my 18650 bank.

      I am tempted to snatch the solar cell for meshtastic nodes. They do look like they are high quality.

        Could you replace the insides with a node?
