If you already have a criminal record or on probation, and don't want to risk another conviction, just hang out next to a flock camera doing bicep curls with the saw as your weight.

Cops will come for sure, but all they can do is ID you and maybe get you to move along (to the next camera of course)

Waste as many police and city resources as you can while they protect flock private property until the city can't justify the cost. Spread police resources thinner so that other saw enjoyers can do good work. Plus you get ripped as a side effect.

Cops can definitely falsely arrest you and make your life hell. And then you need to pay legal fees and waste years of your life fighting it in court

Have you never been falsely arrested before?

You're not wasting their resources, you're giving them better arrest statistics to argue for increased funding, including militarization.

Better to just use a drone to take out all the cameras in one night, remotely

What can one do with a consumer drone to accomplish this?

Paint the cameras with black spray paint

just make sure that you're white and have it all recorded on several devices with several witnesses

I mean, there's a flock camera RIGHT there. Would be a shame to not have them take my video

they sure as hell will happen to malfunction when you need any evidence from them
