Tennessee congressional candidate Adam Heimerman was arrested for shooting four Flock Safety ALPR cameras, facing felony vandalism charges in the same district debating the tech.
This is a terrible, myopic way to decide who becomes your representative, and I’m honestly sad Lemmy is even upvoting this.
You need a points system, otherwise everyone’s going to min–max on the low-hanging fruit. “The most” is too basic a metric, but of course as always, Lemmy doesn’t understand the practical realities of politics.
Don’t want people to completely ignore the easy ones though. Maybe eligibility for the high-value target bonus is unlocked by taking down a certain number of the common (low-hanging fruit) devices. Track everyone’s stats, work out the daily average, make that the cut-off so anyone below that number gets a reduced award instead of handing it to cherry-pickers. Some kind of MMORPG-inspired mechanic like that.
I’ll vote for the candidate who shoots down the most Flock devices (cameras, drones,
executiveset cetera).Every flock camera is 1 point, every firebombed data center or Tesla manufacturer is 5. Winner gets my vote!
I think a firebombed data centre is worth at least 20 points
It’s logarithmic, 20 points for crashing a SpaceX rocket into a data center.

Total height of cameras removed
so like the ones atop skyscrapers are worth more? i like it.
I figure it scales with effort.
i reckon so. seems like a plan to me.
Yeah, the ones on private property like mall parking lots are worth the most by far.
The executives? I dunno, I feel like they’d be worth more if done on a public sidewalk. For tradition’s sake.
Or like, dropped from a plane with no parachute.
The bottom of the sea was a good one too.
