Ohh, I thought the headline meant members of organized crime were concerned about the increased surveillance, so they were making a concerted effort to reduce the network coverage
So criminals are doing it the same way as non-criminals?
The people taking down flock cameras are heroes not criminals.
I think its the funny way of saying how its done without condoning it publicly.
Flock cameras are probably less than 1% of the total surveillance state (that needs to be dismantled)
Much quieter
And slower. Great for plumbing, not so much a 3" aluminum post with 1/4" walls
But hey, I might be wrong. 30yrs in the trades, but I've never tried cutting down an aluminum post with a pipe cutter
Also if the method varies from person to person, or one person uses a unique method, it's easier to get multiple vandalism charges to stick
It's only aluminium, you could probably chew through it if you wanted
Would a straight cut be easier to add a union joint to and thus make the cost of repair slightly lower?
I guess it would depend on priorities
Nah, they wouldn't bother repairing the tube regardless of how it's cut. If they did and the repair broke, hitting someone, they'd have to take the liability. For a company with their funding, a length of ally tube and the cost to dig it into the ground is fuck all.
edit to add: but multiplied by hundreds of them being cut down, it's not not fuck all. and it's funny.
Next thing you know we’ll have a criminal president!
And all the onlookers suddenly become Skyrim guards... must have been the wind
This is horrible! No one should definitely do this!
I glad the word is getting out, finally we can see for ourselves exactly how this crime is committed so we know what not to do in the future. Knowledge is power.

Criminals is the wrong word for soldiers of decency.
Is a criminal to a criminal really a hero? Does a double negative become a positive? I think so.
He was the punkest motherfucker I ever did see
Aw, hell, he's even more punk than me!
Edit: kerning
I thought flock wasn't taking down the cameras?
Actually, it would be extremely lucrative if flock was the people cutting down the cameras, wiping them, and selling them back to the user/municipality at the replacement cost stated in the contract, and using Antifa as a cover.
Just put a bag or bucket over it, won't stop the RF gathering stuff, but cheap and quick
What's wrong with his face?
Nothing.
... too handsome?
Damn, Septic Sam won out, rip Sean
