    You only have to be surveilled if you allow the cameras to survive.

    There are open source projects to scan for and find nearby Flock cameras, that work much like wardriving, and disabling them is pretty easy once they’ve been identified. You won’t hear about it much in the corporate news, but instances of the cameras being disabled has risen in the past few months, for obvious reasons.

      Can you elaborate on how they are being disabled?

        sorry, that was a nice way of saying destroyed. I’ve seen a few news reports of it happening around the nation. one guy managed to destroy thirteen of them by himself before they identified him and he was arrested. the methods vary, but some people just cut them down with saws. I imagine if you wanted to, there are plenty of ways to disable them.

        Making sure the tweakers know that Flock cameras are full of copper, methamphetamines, and bags of Cool Ranch Doritos.
