Note the cameras are turned off for now. Washington legislators are now trying to get a law passed allowing Flock an exemption from having to share the data they record with the public. Once that law has been passed, cameras will be turned back on and people will continue to be surveilled without being allowed to access the footage.
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.
So they threw a tantrum because they didn’t want people to look at how their privacy was getting violated?
lol lmao skill issue tbh
Hell yeah! Now please get rid of them in all of Washington
