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.

I realized recently that every other apartment in my building has those ring cameras on their front doors, meaning I’m being put in some database every time I leave my place. Why do they even need that? It’s not like strangers can get into the building, and packages all go to a special room.

Not really flock related, but still.
