    Should replace them all with a flag of that loon fighting a snake someone designed back when ICE was more heavily terrorizing the Twin Cities.

    Edit: this one

    maybe they decided they were bored of standing in one place and craved freedom. Have they tried looking in wide open green spaces for a flock of flocks?

    I have to wonder whose pockets are being lined that these things keep getting installed. It’s like datacenters. The public hates them,I havent heard a single citizen advocating for them, yet they keep appearing.

    If it’s only $50,000, then it’s just a civil dispute. No need to get the police involved.

    I hear flock cameras are tearing themselves down all over the country. Must be a design defect. They should recall all of them, to be safe.

      I’ll go one further and say it’s probably flock themselves going and tearing down the cameras so that the counties have to purchase more cameras.

      Otherwise, the flock company would be sending imagery of the people that destroyed the cameras to the counties whose cameras got destroyed.

      I mean, they are cameras. How is it possible they didn’t catch anything without the company themselves being complicit in their destruction?

        Approach them from behind. The fact that multiple were targeted at the same time tells me that whoever did it scoped them out in advance. They aren’t 360 degree cameras and they aren’t security cameras that capture what’s happening directly below them.

      I heard it was crows. They hate police. The police always try to feed them salted peanuts.

      Comrades. If you want to feed crows don’t give them anything with salt. It causes kidney damage. Feed the crows unsalted peanuts so they can keep fighting for the revolution.

    “Monitor traffic”…“enhance safety”?

    They misspelled “surveillance of people”

      The domestic security and police are directly connected to the military industrial complex. The military has a $1,000,000,000,000 budget that is essentially unaccountable in its spending.

      The bloat of the military industrial complex results in these companies just naming their own price for the domestic and international military we fund.

      It’s like when you go to the hospital, get 2 ibuprofen that cost $300.

    That is probably one of the things the Bible would talk about if Jesus was born in our times.

    I generally don’t like flock cameras, but the ones that tore themselves down to go fishing or to Bible study are ok in my book.
