      Did you know tubing cutters are cheap, portable, and silent in their operation?

      Unfortunately, this has a habit of becoming a self-reinforcing need for authoritarian policing.

      “Flock camera destruction” becomes the rationale for more cameras and more cops and more draconian punishments. And this cycle continues so long as the public continues to send up corporate shills and industry hacks to fill the municipal offices.

        Oh good to know. I guess we’ll just have to stick with the alternative. Do nothing and watch it happen anyway.

          No, you have to go after the local politicians who keep approving these systems. Electorally of course, you psychos. Your local city council rep is going to feel much more pressure from an angry letter from a voter than your senator would.

            Or not, if push really comes to shove.

            But you do have to recognize that you can’t just break the fascade of the machine to get it to stop working.

              This is probably one of the few issues you could really get grass roots bipartisan support on these days. It would have to be marketed right though. Maybe something like “DEI cameras”, or “6G posts”.

              Ignore the vote! If we don’t vote, it delegitimizes the election and then the local government will be forced to ignore everyone that stayed home and still do the awful thing anyway because the winner is an open fascist.

              Much better alternative!

          Or you could try to make ACTUAL change, instead of throwing temper tantrums like a child and encouraging others to get themselves in legal trouble that would affect the rest of their lives.

          How many have you destroyed? Let me guess. Zero. Another internet tough guy who others to take the hit.

      Sure, but this is an international thing, Flock is US only. And it’s completely expected to see comments about something US specific written like it’s a global thing (or that nothing outside the US exists) because that’s fucking always the case.
      The 'Murica brain, like yours, just can’t comprehend that the vast majority of the world isn’t the US.

        Your comment says way more about you than you comprehend and your assumptions about all Americans are laughable. Having a bad day, are we? Maybe you should call your mum.

        You should fly yourself and your asshole attitude back to Reddit, find the rest of your miserable flock and claim victory, that is if they don’t ignore your sorry ass there too.
