If the surveillance cameras can’t even catch the persons who removed all of their cameras, then they have proven to be worthless at catching real criminals, with their only proven worth is stalking police officers ex wives.
That's just not true. Sometimes they haven't even met the women they're stalking.
People removing surveillance cameras taxpayers didn't approve aren't "criminals". The proper term is heroes.
This is a known issue with flock systems, sometimes they just do that.
Yeah it was really weird. I saw one just destroy itself.
The weird thing is, if I ever see someone tearing down Flock cameras, actually no I didn't.
Agreed, a well known software bug is taking flock cameras down across the country. Hopefully they can fix it before it gets too out of hand.
The top fell off
It's not very typical.
Serious issue.
This is a city of ~25K people, so quite small. Several articles have pointed out that the city, not Flock, bears the costs of the vandalism, so in this instance the city counsel that enabled the city to enter into the contract with Flock to the detriment of its citizens have now burdened the city with a substantial budget item. If the cameras are replaced, you can bet that they will likely be torn down again. At some point there will be a reckoning with voters, and hopefully the idiots that enabled the surveillance state will be voted out.
They don't even have to be voted out if the voters persuade them to resign.
One witness said "I'm Glad members of the community do civic duties, but we don't need to active about finding their identity, I'm sure they did it as a gift for society"
Must have been the wind
Amazing. How true is this? Anyone got a source?
Edit: ah, they only had 8 cameras. Still, that's amazing.
Whomever the suspect was they were fucking my mother that night and there is no way they could have done it because it was going on all night long.
It's called "Flock." Obviously, they all flew away! But you can't blame the PD for not knowing that; pigs don't know much about flying.
Flocks are known to take off and fly away on their own.
Flock off
How did they destroy the cameras without being seen by all the damn cameras?
If you wear all black, do not show any skin or indicating marks, and vary your gait with a consistent stumble, then the cameras are useless. Remember to park out of sight of any cameras.
Best thing would be to not use ur car but go by foot or bicycle, but then again, it's the US, where u are literally trapped in ur home if u don't have a car lol
Let me know if you find who did it, so I can go down on them until my jaw rots off.
Holy shit I just had the epiphany of a lifetime. I have that fucking cutter.
E. And I love Paul Newman
All of Winona, Minnesota was with me, in Switzerland, on a river on an inflatable raft, enjoying the heat wave. Couldn't have been them.
The cameras fell down on their own
"I was right there with a bodycam when they all tore themselves down but it was turned off for, uh, routine maintenance."
I ain’t did it, I ain’t know who did it, and I ain’t never gonna convict anybody charged for doing this or any similar so-called crime if I’m on the jury
Hey man, it was higher power as far as I'm concerned.
Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car’s location, date, and time. They also capture your car’s make, model, color, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points. These cameras collect data on millions of vehicles—regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. While these systems can be useful for tracking stolen cars or wanted individuals, they are mostly used to track the movements of innocent people.
