There is more in a single video than what official numbers claim

[-] TipRing@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

Please don't take pictures of yourself or your friends doing this. Ffs people. Don't get caught.

New favorite American pastime.

Halloween is a good time for ... I forgot what I want to say ... but Halloween definitely is a good time.

I played the video. Saw nothing. None of you did either.

EDIT:

The cameras are going up in the street lights next.

[-] maturelemontree@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

You got lights on your car, don't ya? Cut them down next.

[-] apotheotic@beehaw.org 1 points 1 day ago

Street lights are for pedestrians just as much as for motorists

[-] Professorozone@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago

The heroes we need.

[-] Alvaro@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 days ago

Real question for the USA people, will shooting them be anymore of a crime? Just sounds like a faster and more fun way of doing this.

Canadian here. Way too dangerous!

  1. Shooting upwards at the cameras puts innocent people in danger. I know gun cultures love to sky fire but in Canada we don't do that dumb shit. Especially out west where the mountains obscure who lives a mile away. Could easily kill some rancher with no hospital for 100 miles. (or a cow!)

  2. Ricochet. If the bullet goes through the camera and hits the pole it could deflect and injure a bystander.

  3. Shrapnel. Hit the wrong spot and the camera might eject sharp pieces that could hurt someone.

  4. People suck at aiming.

Actually yes, it massively increases the number of potential charges. Also way more likely to get excited police officers turning up quickly and knowing you have a gun.

[-] Canconda@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

They don't put these cameras up in neighbourhoods where gunshots are expected

[-] ikidd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

That is literally what the were sold for in order to notify police about gunshots in the area. All the other bullshit was added after.

[-] Delphia@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Yes, which means people will report them and the cops will turn up faster.

[-] cloudshouter@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 days ago

Discharging a firearm in a city or near a highway is a crime, as well as being unsafe and irresponsible. Shooting from a vehicle is also usually illegal and there may be other laws specifically for firearms that they be charged with too such as possession of a firearm when committing a crime.

For example robbing a bank is a crime but robbing a bank which a firearm is two different crimes and if you show the gun that can be brandishing which is a third. For this reason, and because bank tellers are told to just hand over the money which is all government insured, most people rob banks by only passing a note to the cashier and not having any weapons at all.

The Autumn Wind is a people
Struggling to be free
With a phone and car, they see quite far
And trackers all they see

Their bodies are well covered
And no one sees their faces
With lasers, saws, and power tools
Put fascists in their places

They go across the country
To knock down one by one
Care not to see just where they be
For this is not for fun

The Autumn Wind is a people
Who want to be alone
No one should know just where they go
Or what is on their phone

Dude, fuck yeah.

[-] laranis@lemmy.zip 32 points 2 days ago

What would cause fire like that? Assume it is an internal lithium-based battery?

[-] zout@fedia.io 33 points 2 days ago

If these batteries get punctured, they'll burn like this. Source: I work in waste management, we have daily fires in the shredders because people are too lazy to properly dispose their old batteries.

strong winds too

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

Isn't it easier to shoot them with an air gun?

[-] fartographer@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago
[-] one_old_coder@piefed.social 9 points 1 day ago

Nothing happened. Just good old fireworks for the 4th of July or something.

[-] fartographer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Wow! I feel so patriotic now! I can't wait for the finale

[-] frtzngbllr@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago
