Citizens of Springfield, Missouri showed up to a city council meeting to discuss the city’s Flock contract. The mayor shut them down and arrested two people for ‘disruption of meetings of city council.’
Next time one is planning to protest flock or some other horrible technology at a city council, they should bring several freinds. Its harder for a couple of cops to handcuff and drag off half a dozen people.
Dozens of people showed up to the Springfield City Council Meeting on September 22 with plans to let city leaders know how they felt about the city’s use of automated license plate readers.
I was wondering about this. what if you got a big group of people together, like 20-30 or more. and you all took down the same flock cameras together. like literally take turns hacksawing so each person is equally involved and there is no group leader.
I wonder how the cops and courts would respond? like how do you even press charges against 40 people for simultaneously carrying out the same exact crime? there’s no way they’d each get a separate hearing/sentencing. plea deals all around, wrist slaps, I’m guessing.
could this type of “firing squad” legal defense have any effect, if done in large numbers across the country?

Historically the jails would fill and they couldn’t arrest more.
Today we have a for profit prison industry, so it’s harder. But the same tactic works on a large enough scale.
