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.

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
wet the post with gallium and put a piece of duct tape over it, i'll fall over in an hour. no tools

Hey, totally unrelated, but how does one cut copper pipes mounted close to the wall?
There's a tool that attaches to your drill or impact driver. Kinda expensive, but when you NEED it, it's worth every penny.

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.
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.
If you can’t taste the sarcasm in this video the tism is strong in you ❤️
The people taking them dawn are heroes and criminals. "Criminal" just means they're not aligned with the law, not that they're in some way immoral. In a country as corrupt as this, it's a title to be worn proudly.
And all the onlookers suddenly become Skyrim guards... must have been the wind
Next thing you know we’ll have a criminal president!
I thought the criminals are the ones putting those things up there?
Weird.
*Heroes not Criminals
I hate both short form and vertical videos, but in this case I'll make an exception.
If this is what need to get youth to act. I all for it.
So criminals are doing it the same way as non-criminals?
Aren't the criminals the one's putting up the cameras? The heroes are actually the ones taking them down.
He was the punkest motherfucker I ever did see
Aw, hell, he's even more punk than me!
Edit: kerning
Damn, Septic Sam won out, rip Sean
Flock cameras are probably less than 1% of the total surveillance state (that needs to be dismantled)
Start with the low hanging fruits.
Every little bit counts.
Is a criminal to a criminal really a hero? Does a double negative become a positive? I think so.
I'm so glad this guy told me exactly what to avoid
*liberators
Criminals is the wrong word for soldiers of decency.
Patriots. ~~criminals~~.
Good thing I now know what to be aware of.

How heros are taking down private spy network cameras that cops use to stalk people
A grinder will cut through a steel pole like that so much faster than a recip.
He literally points out that the recip is quieter, and he's got it chopped in seconds, so the fractions of such that a grinder'd offer are negligible. If anything, I'm curious what the comparative battery-life is between a reciprocating saw & angle grinder, but that's even more pedantic, honestly. 🤷🏼♂️

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.
How do you know they're criminals?
Revolutionary hero**
Not a criminal.
