    This is how you know you don’t live in a free country. If you try to stop someone from making money, boom, straight to jail.

      Saw my first Flock camera in the wild in my town. Across the street from a fucking Starbucks and next to a Quick Trip gas station. Right before you would enter the ramp for turnpike. I was so pissed but goddammit don’t know how one could take it out without getting caught.

    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.

      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?

    While this is a shitty situation that thumbnail together with the description “speaking about” is hilarious
