Good. We need to teach these pigs a lesson
The fun part is that these cameras are not owned, operated or property of your local jurisdiction. They are hardware/software as a service. IANAL, but I think Flock would have to sue you.
I have not personally de-flocked anything, but my local area doesn't have any that aren't tied to a business parking lot.
If some show up, I can't imagine a 5 minute walk with a hat, face mask and a can of spraypaint wouldn't be sufficient to disable one without risk. Might need a stool.
The flock cameras local to me only face one direction, which makes it a little easier. Still better mask up.
Every time I see one I get curious about the solar panel. Wonder how much non-nazi stuff it could run?
The shitty part is it's your tax dollars you're smashing, but you'd think they'd get the hint and just give up on it.
