A pleasant young person showing us how we protect our right to privacy. Informative and engaging. Definitely going to be thinking about how his methods can be optimized and improved. Glad this came through my feed.

Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car’s location, date, and time. They also capture your car’s make, model, color, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points. These cameras collect data on millions of vehicles—regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. While these systems can be useful for tracking stolen cars or wanted individuals, they are mostly used to track the movements of innocent people.

Ive heard that the flood of anti flock videos and videos showing them actively cut down was inspired by and started around the time of Trump investing into a rival company that gives him kickbacks called Axon; a lot of cities actually contracted with them instead of flock
Not that i think this guy is necessarily some govt paid actor
The use of the term "terrorist" to describe vandalists is disgusting and devalues the victims of actual terrorists.
Especially since "terrorist" is meant to be someone who causes terror to the general public. Put bluntly, you have to do something that makes people feel unsafe or that they could be in direct danger from your actions....
But cutting down a camera doesn't put the general public at risk. No one (rationally) is at fear that a camera being removed will put them in harms way.
You need the saw do the work. Don't push it too hard. It will go slower and get dull.
and violates your human rights
Btw, Human rights in the United States
(why does a flawed democracy have jurisdiction over international human rights laws?)
I heard some criminals are also putting a drop of oil on the saw blade to make sure the aluminum doesn't gall up the blade teeth and slow it down
I swear officer! That camera just exploded on its own.
How ~~Criminals~~ heroes are taking down flock cameras.
"They're the same picture"
Think you misspelled peak and based local heros lol
Fr that video is so good yippie
american “revolutionaries” inciting the war of independence, would be labelled as terrorists today.
A lot of far right nutters co-opt '1776' and revolutionary motifs on that basis
Criminals == Can I buy you a beer and shake your hand? Fuck a yankkkee soldier boy or a hog aka oinker aka cop. Gawd damn... I am standing in the shaddow of a supreme alpha ape and I just want to let you know that. Thank you for your service. 🫡 I am eternaly greatful. Your mother should be PROUD. A true defender of the Constitution and a true patriot. I don't even believe in god but I hope it blesses you. May you and yours be eternally blessed until the end of days, may you always be placed in front of the line where the public celebrates you in honor via nationa holiday.
~~Criminals~~ Sane, rational citizens.
I'm a ~~Pepper~~ criminal, he's a ~~Pepper~~ criminal, she's a ~~Pepper~~ criminal, wouldn't you like to be a ~~Pepper~~ criminal, too?
(Yeah, yeah... I know, I know... I'm effing old.)
That's great journalism
Dude must've watched Spider-Noir recently with that outfit.
When did Robert Pattinson get so many tattoos?
I've seen this guy before on YouTube. While I agree with this vid he always gave me the feeling that his Wikipedia article has a large "controversies" section. Can't quite put my finger on why though.
