    See the problem there is that it doesn’t scale. You can only take down so many cameras.

    Now if you convince the local scrappers that the things are full of copper…

      Well, don’t sell yourself short—one camera per person destroys them all. It’s gotta start somewhere.

      I’m sure those cameras would probably resell somewhere. Sell them back to flock 🙃

        Sure. If all you can do is steal one camera, then steal one camera.

        But…

        Steal one camera, stop surveillance for a day. But teach a cracky to steal cameras for cash, stop surveillance for a generation.

        As I was driving around today, I was thinking how an organized trend to destroy or disable them would make them economically inefficient very quickly.

        I’m no maniac driver, but I hate having to drive around paranoid that I’m going to get a ticket for going 5 mph too fast.

          Well, those might not even be flock camera! But they definitely scan your plate and keep that data forever.
