  1. That’s awesome. I remember when red light cameras came to my town. Everyone hated them. Someone started a petition that resulted in a vote that resulted in their immediate removal. Think they lasted 2 years. I loved it

  2. How ever are they doing that? It would be terrible if they had been going out late at night and sniping the cameras from a distance or blinding and destroying the cameras around town.

  3. I am very glad my area voted to take these down once the news got out about how they operate, but there’s still a ton of them around, and even in neighboring cities. They are 100% big brother type shit, they go way beyond simply being a ‘traffic cam’, so I’m not entirely distraught that people are waking up to them and doing something about it.

  4. China in 2013 had over 7 million cameras in Shanghai alone… it was f ing weird and quite frankly shitty.. everywhere you went there was a fisheye camera, sometimes a foot from your face… do we want that in America?

    I’m unsure if I’m allowed to advocate for much much much more of this behavior, but I would if I could.

    Much.

  6. I took a trip recently and saw several along the highway that had been pointed away from traffic. I loved it.

  7. First they bribe local officials to approve them without voter support then they sell the data to the government

    Not where I live, there isnt a street I turn on there isn’t one. They’ll getcha coming and going. There has to be several million $$$ in flock cameras in my city and county.

    I like the idea of catching the murderer, pdfile, etc, but unfortunately the slippery slope has already been crossed.

    They can take them down.

    Hey.

    Back in the day, people used to get buckshots even grenade the county stop signs. It used to be the red white and blue, shotgunnings all ‘n whatever, ‘n a bit of petty vandalism. Nobody got hurt. Or tracked but maybe by ATF. Good on these patriots. Fightin EVIL

  10. Just saw a local county where they publicly punish immigrants for show near me is installing a bunch of them. Fuck them.

    They are trash and don’t belong in our communities without heavy regulation to ensure that the normal law-abiding citizens are protected. That’s not happening during this lawless regime, at any rate.

    Good! 

    I live in Anne Arundel County MD and they are everywhere for no damn reason!!

    Someone told me there’s like 10 lb of copper in those flock cameras. Be a shame if that got around.

  14. How do you get at the ones on highways, though: the ones tracking your driving habits, and they know which car is yours, right down to that window decal and ding on the right passenger door.

  15. Public safety tech without strict limits always drifts into mass tracking. If people have to pick between privacy and sidewalks, trust is already broken.

  16. Remember when that robot traveled safely across all of Canada and the second it crossed over into the united states it was murdered? WE NEED TO BRING THAT NRG BACK.
