From the thumbnail I thought this was a downed neighborhood basketball hoop. This is so much better.

Let's start a lawyer fund for when they get arrested as "terrorists" by actual demons in human skin.

Np you didn't. 'Twas the wind.
DevilsAdvocat
no you didn't
IrisSelamin
You mean you saw a few teenagers out for a walk who were almost hurt by a falling flock camera? I am sure thats what you saw.
Jarjarthejedi
Darn poorly installed camera falling over and almost hurting people.
RuricOrhlandis
You didn't see anything.
Justtoddishere
No you didn't.
animi
Huh, wind must've blown it over.
ibuycrap
Move along nothing to see here.
DavedandConfused
I approve of this outlet for teen angst. I hope destroying flock cameras becomes a new TikTok trend.
slamEVIL
No you didn't
ThatGuyFromJustSouthOfTheMiddleOfNowhere
I've seen communities where they appear post how flock camera at a given location contain valuable components hoping they get stripped
mksu
I saw it. It was a lightning bolt straight from the heavens.

I should not have to say that but please don't do this shit.
Using high-powered lasers in uncontrollable environments is a guarantee for blinding others with reflections.

That looks like an aluminum tube, which is really surprising because it makes it more expensive while also making it WAY easier to cut down. You get a blade with enough teeth and you can chew through that pretty fast with a portable circular saw. Faster than you could with a sawzall.

Printed on a thermal receipt, brilliant.
TheVillageGrouch9000
Brilliant - how so?
SquattingTigerHiddenGopnik
Regular printers leave coded traces on their printed sheets, which can be used to track where it was printed, as far as I know, receipt printers do not do this
TheVillageGrouch9000
Just had a quick look. Was not aware of the hidden yellow dot encoding for color printers. Does not seem to be an issue with monochrome laser. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/household-printers-tracking-code/
Elkarlo77
Older Printer don't do this as well, and B/W less likely as well. When you grop the Paper you will most likely remove it as well as the marking are mostly at the Border were normaly printer doesn't print. As typical: The Felons which knows about it can circumvent it easily and most honest poeples get tracked and blamed as the most likely person which gets framed by it are Whistleblowers.
Treiskaideka
Plus this is probably a portable Label printer, so you don't need to carry any pre printed stuff with you
nitemayr
The Flock Camera did this to itself.
NullSecc
Seen'em? Never heard of them
TheBlackSonOfTheHonestMan
Huh? They were at my place at that time, could not have been them.
NightOwlRally
They told em to get the flock out of Dodge

Kids doing the radical things cuz their prefrontal cortex hasn't fully developed. Exactly what we need! They aren't afraid of society calling them *radicals*. Yep...ok.

Flocky having two left hands is a little weird
WiiShaker
Yowza!
GanjalfTheClear
Something about that image doesn't look right. Like, the felled pole of the camera looks poorly photoshopped.
Neurisko
Yeah now I can't unsee it. There are some soft shadows that look right. Maybe it's some kind of weird lighting, like it's night but there's a lot of environmental lighting?
9z2nf02h
This is definitely at night under street lights.
anubis132
The pole isn't on the ground. It's hanging off its elevated base, still partially attached. It's floating above/in front of the background.

I didn't see shit
TsubakiTragic
it was like that when nobody arrived... nobody touched the sign cos it was already like that.

See what? Nothing to see here. Must have just been poorly installed and the wind knocked it over.
brownribbon
I saw everything. That camera pole just fell over all on its own.
3nd3rwiggin
Neither did it, hopefully.
nikinnorway12
teenagers? Nah dude, it was like 20-30 feral hogs.
SavageDrums
I did. It was Elon Musk.

I didn't saw him either.
DragonThunderUndertaking
Never seen anyone refer to the wind as 'him' before, but hey its a brave new world I guess.
lurkyloos
It was like that since I remember.

The flock flew to Canada years ago, a girlfriend I heard.
Alittlepotofprepackagedpudding
Strong winds that day indeed
FluidExchangeProgram
Flock cameras are trash.
lurkyloos
Get that copper first
an0therthr0waway
The cameras are impressive high-tech gizmos. The company is trash.
FluidExchangeProgram
Point conceded.

Flock cameras are automated license plate reader (ALPR) systems that capture and analyze images of vehicles, RECORDING EVERYTHING.
mercyPandaRunner
It was recording everyone, but it couldn't record the teenagers that pushed it over. Ironic.
Markodgt
Instead of mailboxes, just drive around with a baseball bat and smash this shit
GreaterDog
Also both Home Depot and Lowes use them. Literally the only ones in my area. So fuck both big boxes I guess
ParaBellumOutfitters
Many also have microphones
JackDawesLovesmybigwhat
And facial recognition with searchable databases thatbare far too easily accessible.

CyberWizard252
Police vehicles are much the same. I got pulled over yesterday when a camera system in a cruiser alerted the officer that I had forgotten to renew my drivers license on my last birthday. Not my license plate, my drivers license.
dextarrogue
That's something you could easily sue them for you know. Illegal stop. You should contact an attorney, sounds like you had your civil rights violated.
Toqom
Plus anyone can access them so stalkers could be using them
philmoregraves
Oddly enough the ones I see around seem like they'd be better suited to catch ur face coming toward in than the license plate as ur going away from it
whatexactlyisthefunctionofarubberduck
Thank you I was going to ask
theyallwenttoMexico
So many posts expect a prior understanding of some things that aren't that well known.
EatinButtsAndBustinNuts
Also also, they will be adding audio and drone tracking for you licensed drone pilots
somerandomusernamebecauseididntlikemyoldone
They also have incredibly lax security and are frequently placed in places that don't have vehicles, like playgrounds. https://youtu.be/vU1-uiUlHTo In a city near me they also placed additional cameras not in the contract, luckily the people very quickly pushed to have them all removed and other nearby towns followed suit.
baals
If enough of us start doing it. A national effort. We will win
Macetheace50
Shouldn't someone put a Flock camera in The White House, where the real crimes are being committed?
wowzie
YES
lurkyloos
Don’t use this site to find and disable ALPR cameras. https://deflock.org
mjperk
Flock is working with Ring doorbell cameras too, right? I thought I read that somewhere. Or perhaps they just wanted to. But the idea was that they could use Ring camera footage in conjunction with Flock cameras to better map out where people are, where they're going, how much time they're spending there, etc. They're trying to go full Minority Report by using AI to predict people who will commit crimes based on their patterns... Fucking insane. I hope Flock and Ring didn't work out...
SalmySwims
Sometimes I'm glad that, technologically speaking, Alaska is about 20 years behind the rest of the US. From the Flock map:
KellyCrazyCatLadyinTraining
I definitely don’t want to know this information.

There's like 12 in my town. How does one let teenagers know about this so they can handle it?
FetteredJuvenescence
Can you fry these with a really strong laser pointer? Asking for a friend.
lurkyloos
I’ve heard that It has to be a powerful laser. I’ve heard that spray paint / chaotic disassembly is more cost effective.
SeriousYouCantBeShirley
Sweet. Looks like i avoid every single one on my way back and forth to work from now on.
Toqom
These are reported by people, not companies. There were listed at my home depot but the third wasn't listed, I added it. Every exit direction from home Depot and Lowe's have flock cameras
SeriousYouCantBeShirley
Hm. I'll add when I see one that's not listed!
ThisIsYourLifeNow
103,288!!! Wow. How is it going "land of the free"? But I guess the EU is one bad decision away from this too. Just watch. I hate this timeline.
live2dyec4
The data it captures can be accessed by any PD or government agency that pays Flock. That company needs to burn in hell.
ropetopus
Without any kind of need to show a legitimate law enforcement purpose either. It’s just massive government surveillance operated for profit.
StarscreamAndHutch
Ive seen yt videos were citizens can access them as well. They are not terribly secure.
GeeBrainWhatDoYouWantToDoTonight
One would say they are terribly unsecured
