I have never and I will never see someone cutting down a Flock camera.
I mean it’s the cameras’ job to keep track of criminals, right? So it’s not my job anymore to give a shit about where they went or what they looked like, surely.
Growing up watching Batman and Spiderman be told to leave it to the professionals, I think it might be my job to not interfere by knowing anything.
My memory has been shot for ten years anyways.
I think flock is stealing their own cameras so they can reset them and charge to replace them. There is a clear incentive.
We haven’t seen Mitch McConnell in months.
I’m just saying…
His alibi is full of holes
They were with me the whole night.
The cameras?
Everyone. Everyone except the cops were hanging out with me all night. Actually, I think the police should investigate themselves. They love doing that.
I didn’t see shit, I don’t know shit, I plead the 5th, get out of my doorway
I am Spartacus.
No; I am Spartacus!
Can you “steal” something paid for with public funds?
I mean yeah obviously

Don’t they have it on CAMERA???
If you don’t have a cellphone but ya got a sheisty…
There’s not really anyway to ID the person in the video.
They’d recognize my LIMP. I have a (documented) broken bone in my foot.
(For a short time I can limp on the wrong foot so THEY have PROOF that it wasn’t me)
Gait recognition is not as good as they say it is…
They use it to say two videos are of the same person, but if you think “expert testimony” gives actual opinions and not just what will get lawyers to pay them again…
Then you don’t understand how any of this works.
why are you shouting
Must’ve been a bear. Lot of bears in Winona.
Ah so each camera costs about $3000 huh? I wonder how much people will buy it for on the streets …
While they cost that much, they are worth probably way less.
Basically worth the cost if a RaspberryPi with camera and a couple 18650 batteries.
Funny enough - raspberry pi prices have jumped up dramatically! So win win!
Well if there actually was an RPi in those boxes, they would make even more interesting targets.
If someone can change the boot loader it would be funny to reverse engineer these things, mod them, add mesh networking, and put them back up.
It’s a similar SoM.
How much ram they got?
Minimal. I’d be surprised if it’s more than 1gb and it’s definitely soldered to a main board, not a discrete module.
With the challenges of ram these days, an enterprising person may figure out how to make it work for the consumer market.
Enough
Hacksaw Hero takes down another post!
Pretty sure it was Spartacus
Me! I did it.
I got a few annoying alibis, one of which is thousands of km long, but that’s never stopped the American Justice System before.
Stay safe comrade
Quick question, how are these flock cameras generally connected to the Web?
Is it via Wi-Fi, perhaps 4g radio?
What frequencies would one need to jam (completely theoretically) to know that the camera wasn’t able to send back video of a person cutting it down.
Benn Jordan has a few videos on them.
Get a faraday box instead. Better would be a bag, actually… you can slip it over the top, pull some draw strings to tighten up the bottom.
Do they make bags that work like faraday boxes?
Edit: found something close: https://a.co/d/0gUGuVMM
Edit2: this one looks like you can tie off the bottom better: https://a.co/d/0htiAqX6
That would get expensive. Get a roll of heavy duty foil and a roll of metal tape (the kind for duct work). Wrap them in a bag made of doubled up heavy duty foil.
Good idea. Dont forget to put your phone in it and give it a call, to see if it’s really blocking signals.
It generally does. But even if some signal escapes (like if you had to hurry and do this so it wasn’t perfectly sealed), it wouldn’t be that great a signal so communication would definitely be compromised.
Good call.
Another unreasonably expensive approach would be to paint it into a faraday cage. Maybe it can work to block visuals and comms, and don’t even have to remove the device.
Something opaque on the solar panel until the batteries die.
Either hardwired (probably not) or sim card 4g/5g phone network.

What cameras? Y’all got a receipt?
Obviously it was local drug addicts. They were just desperate for a fix and learned about the high value of all the parts in those cameras. Perhaps I was talking too loudly the other day about the resale value of all the expensive electronics in those Flock cameras.
Golly gee, I sure hope more junkies don’t find out how much money they could make. It would be a tragedy if junkies all over started stealing those Flock cameras.
Junkies won’t fight your revolution for you

Every piece a part to play. You’d not ignore your pawns in chess.
No pawns, no kings.
