I just love seeing people fighting back against this bullshit.

Flock cameras are typically mounted on 8 to 12 foot poles and powered by a solar panel. The smashed remains of all of the above in La Mesa are the latest examples of a widening anti-Flock backlash. In recent months, people have been smashing and dismantling the surveillance devices, in incidents reported in at least five states, from coast to coast.

Someone in my area keeps smashing three on one road, but because they wear plain black clothes and ride a generic mountain bike, an (I assume) don't bring a phone with them, it seems nobody can figure out who it is. And the damages aren't enough for them to post camera guards like the one the nearest Lowe's now has.
