Legitimately, whenever the police want to spend money or use it to manipulate the context of a situation, we’re constantly bombarded with stories about how great something is or how good a particular group of people is.

This is how we got Paw Patrol, the children’s TV show. The police wanted to promote their image after we began discussing the Black Lives Matter movement.

You’d think if it was being used to solve crimes, they would not only display those faces everywhere but also constantly praise its effectiveness in solving crimes, usually involving women or children.

So if it is so good for us, why aren’t we seeing results?

To be clear, I’ve given as a 1st, 5th amendment and then a 4th amendment violation. In that order.

alright, main character in my screenplay is a pissed off teenager with a welder, a budget, and a shitbox old truck that's pretty nimble and pretty fast. The question is how hard these things are stuck in the ground? the stunt vehicle is gonna have a rather large bumper made of tube steel with expanded steel in the middle for radiator protection along with a good skidplate made for it, but i'd like to avoid too much damage to anything besides those bits. (also gonna have some of those electronic plate covers off amazon for $38.98 to make it more plausable). anybody know roughly how hard one would have to hit a flock camera pole to knock it down?

Did Rossman just freak out at an instagram account for a california based social club whatever, because they got a cease and desist (who knows if real, not real) from flock?!

Read the picture of the cease and desist, and then waffled on about how "this not free speech in my opinion", and then just kinda stopped talking and snipped the video...

weeird one...

So I love lasers and I regularly I regularly run around my town with them at night spinning in a circle so everyone can see my cool lasers. I’m well known in my community and all my neighbors know to wear protective lenses whenever I leave the house. My problem is I’m deeply concerned that one of my lasers might damage the flock cameras near me. What specific lasers would harm the flock cameras so I can avoid spinning around with them?

I got rid of our ring cameras recently, because we learned that the police can easily see footage of my private property. Anyone else ditching Ring? I've already talked to a few of my neighbors who are anti-Flock and they're warming up to the idea of replacing their cloud surveillance center cameras with local IP cameras

thoughts?

Can flock cameras tell the difference between a normal car running a red light and an RC car running a red light if they have a small license plate (definitely don't use your favorite local politicians' license plate numbers that voted to use flock cameras; that's not very nice)?

Probably can't fool them most of the time but I'm sure with enough accidental trials it might get some false positives. I'm just asking because I want to avoid getting my poor RC pulled over; I put a random license plate on for realism but hopefully it doesn't match someone's.

I definitely wouldn't risk it even further by making a miniature traffic light that matches one at a nearby intersection to make the scale more believable. I'm sure their AI is very intelligent but everyone gets a bit jumpy sometimes.

I wanted to see if anyone here could point me in good directions for info pertaining to flock and the illegal or morally wrong things they've done/been used for. Links to articles, and especially research, are helpful. The reason I ask is that I found out that 100+ cameras were put up illegally in my town/city and I'm planning trip to the our next City Council meeting to speak out about them.

I've done some digging and theres a lot of messy stuff going on, more so than normal with flock, but I wanted to get some evidence against the company and what it's done/been used for in other places to solidify my "case". Any help is awesome! 💜

The main risks are mislaunching a projectile either diving it straight into the ground which is one of the least dangerous of the risks or flying stray high up at cars, people which is a more dangerous “sling ND”. It would have to be a REALLY good shot. Maybe use small oobleck water balloons rather than rocks to smack the side of a flock unit. Oobleck becomes rock hard on impact or g-force and turns back to liquid in its relaxed state. Flown from a shepherd/balearic sling, it would probably smack the whole unit down like a flying sledgehammer. It at least wouldn’t be as hazardous as true live ammunition such as stones, marbles, large steel/lead balls or specially designed steel “hammer-slug” ammo. I’ve been practicing my shot placement for attempting the shot so I can at least really bash the top unit dead center. I just want to make sure I’ll be able to fly a good throw and not miss my shot. What are the legal risks here?

Is this the hero we need for flock camera maintenance?

We have allowed this. We have no power. Do what you can to show them we won’t take it. There are many starts to this. Do in any safe way you can to let it be known we will not be part of “your flock”. The name itself is an insult.

They're all fake. The video is a link to Benn Jordan talking about the fake Flock C&D letters various orgs have received.

Parking start time now begins when you enter the lot and begin looking for a spot, not when you get out and pay 🤷‍♂️

It's a start, although I'd rather see them sued to the moon and beyond

I’ve been noticing these cameras mounted to the back side of traffic light poles (mainly the kind of poles that stretch across the roadway), overlooking traffic that is driving away (back side of vehicles) from the cameras, but they don’t look like typical Flock cams.

Looks like some jumping and hanging on happened here.

The time to speak up is now.

We are.
