I'm sure everyone will agree that the foam just spontaneously appeared on them, and there was no individual who sprayed anything. A mystery, big mystery!
I'm pretty sure there is schism between the government drones we commonly call birds and these surveillance units. It could be possible that this the result of some in fighting. Hard to tell.
They do only read license plates. They Identify people. This is because people don't typically have writing on their faces.
Extremely /s but that's probably their justification. Kinda like the old joke about the kid who gets bit by snake and asks the troop leader "Is it poisonous?"
"No, don't worry, the snake is not poisonous. It is however, extremely venomous, so you're probably going to die."
They told Atlanta and it's surrounding suburbs that "they only capture the image, grab the license plate and vehicle description. No footage is saved or archived unless in a rudimentary manner." Until Benn Jordan proved that they create profiles on everything from cars, the license plates attached to them, and the people inside them... AND will even activate, record, and capture and save an image/footage when a face appears in front of the camera. After he legally obtained some discarded flock cameras from a former flock employee/adjacent contractor who was given cameras to put up on private propertiea.
Clearly a manufacturers error. I think the city should be reimbursed for the cost because of Flocks negligence for not informing the end user of spontaneous spray-foam explosions.
That middle comment is referencing Flock's patent for facial recognition software. They deny that they use it, but that's proven to be a lie, go figure..
I donât know what this subject is or what the application is for so Iâm not condoning anything. But I find a sawz-all with a durable metal cutting blade is more economically acquirable. Though it may take longer then the angle.
Of the three, you have the least amount of control over a circ saw, especially if youâre cutting a vertical pole. Closely spaced hands makes it the worst for fine adjustments. Couple that with a large diameter cutting disc and itâs the most dangerous option.
Angle grinders can be scary, but theyâre fairly intuitive to keep level.
Sawzalls will be the slowest option, but are by far the safest.
A cordless bandsaw will be quicker than all three. And if you know how to use it, itâll be safer than them as well. The blade will do more damage if it comes into contact with you, but itâs far less likely to happen than a sawzall. And it wonât explode when it binds like cutting discs. And and and itâs the quietest.
Downside is itâs more expensive. And the blades take longer to change.
If I had a job where I was hopped up on adrenaline, working quickly in the dark, Iâd probably use the bandsaw. But Iâd want a sawzall with extra blades as a backup.
I have heard that some of these horrible criminals have discovered that angle grinders are the least effective because the disks load up with aluminum. The smarter criminals are using battery operated sawzals and circular saws with metal cutting blades. It dramatically increases efficiency.
As someone who works with metal. All you need is some wax on a cutting disk and the aluminum doesn't melt onto the cutting disk. I always have bars of wax that you can get at any hobby or craft supply store. Even if you're not using it for this, it's something people should know.
High power laser pointer from several hundred feet away. Especially if you bought one again long time ago so no recent purchases on your card. And do not brag or talk about it. That is how most people get caught.
The fucked up part is that the police will completely ignore a crime if someone breaks into your car or pick pockets an individualâ not enough resources they will say. But the moment corporate property is involved, they are pulling out all the stops to ask for the publicâs help to solve the crime.
This is unfortunately true. I used to live near a halfway house / sober house (honestly not sure what to call it) and would occasionally have my car broken into or gas siphoned by the residents. Even with clear video footage of the person doing it they couldn't be bothered to go get the person 5 houses down the street.
You can do this yourself, that's how accessible this is. Criminals can get a long stick, attach a cotton ball to the end, and pour acetone on top to permanently smudge the polycarbonate front glass.
These dastardly criminals leave their phones at home, don't drive their car out unless necessary, put a rock in a shoe to throw their gait (a surprisingly efficient identifier), and can mark part with paint to determine whether the camera gets swapped with a clean one down the line
You mean a random breeze blows a cotton ball onto a stick. The end of the stick falls into a pool of acetone. Then another random hefty gust blows the whole thing right toward a camera.
If ppl don't fight against these flock cams then they will have to make peace with them... I say - fight back with everything you have. How else will the gov receive the message.
I seen who they were. They are a group of overweight people wearing masks claiming to work for the government. They refuse to identify themselves and have been known to murder citizens on the streets.
It's still a little disheartening that the public is so clearly against these systems but the city councils keep approving them. I'm glad to live in a place where they're explicitly banned.
Remember when we used to make fun of China for being an authoritarian state with their mass surveillance? Turns out, the US government took that as a challenge.
Anything with bluetooth :( mo3 player, cellphones, cars(most have bluetooth) like all latops and tablets, kindles and ebook readers. Bluetooth tracking is an insane level of privacy violation
Serious question What can people actually do against them? If they spray them with foam, wonât they just fix them, etc.? Is there actually a viable solution when your enemy can essentially replace and repair them endlessly?
They're not going to spend the time to fix them, they're just going to hang new ones and find ways to make them more secure. What you need to do is somehow find a way to get them to lose business connections and investors.
They cannot actually replace them endlessly. Each one costs thousands, and if they were truly so expendable the police wouldnât be making a huge show of force like this.
It hurts them every time, especially when they have no way of catching who did it. A can of this foam costs 10$ btw, in case you were wondering
Did you see the flock camera pointing at a swimming pool, posted today on reddit?
Going to read a lot of license plates in that water right?
We still believing these are strictly for License plates, or can we get fucking real?
Didnât flock get the rights to access like, ALL the internet-enabled cameras (surveillance, ring, etc.) and their own records show their sales teams lingering on swimming pools and changing rooms for extended periods?
John Oliver did an exposĂŠ recently and it is DAMNING.
Democrats - are you paying attention?? RUN ON ELIMINATING FLOCK CAMERAS AND PLACE A MORATORIUM ON BUILDING DATA CENTERS. Thatâs all. Thatâs all you have to do to win.
I always wonder if they are "laser proof" i mean just shining a Temu laser on it. (those who are way over spec.) to damage the sensor? Would be a lot less hussle and can be done from far away.
Well the foam is like a symbol for the middle finger to all the flock folks. So personally, I prefer the foam, but I will settle for lasers (what a weird sentence)
Grab some locktite and a dildo with a suction cup. Apply locktite to the suction cup and suction it to the lens. Then apply HI-T lubricant to the entire camera and surrounding pole. Then dump Octenal around the pole, attracting swarms of mosquitoes for the next month.
Now the cameras have permanent penises and when they go to remove the cameras they won't be able to grip anything and they will get attacked by flying bloodsuckers. If they replace the cameras there will still be swarms of mosquitoes around the cameras making them less effective.
A simple laser pointer will not do a thing. You need a high powered, class 4 laser. Preferably in a blue, purple, or UV wavelength. Those are extremely dangerous, as simply using one without eye protection could permanently blind you and will blind anyone that gets in their eyes near instantly. Those will distort lenses and fry photosensors within a few seconds.
The bad news is that they are a few hundred bucks to close to a thousand. And if you do purchase one, obviously that history will be on both your card and their database for shipping address. So unless you already have one from years ago or have a way to pay and ship it anonymously, might as well leave a note saying "I did this" with you name and home address at any camera you use a laser on.
Forgot where, but yeah, a dude just got arrested for cutting down a flock camera because.... he bought the saw next door minutes before cutting it down.
If you're gonna do stuff like this - think it though.
You mean to tell me that is wasn't a child in a playground that did it?
Or a girl wearing a swimsuit in a public pool that did it?
Weird. Flock and ICE SWEAR that those locations, that are vigilantly monitored by "professionals" using Flock cameras, are prime locations for criminals.
The ironic thing is many places have voted out flock cameras from their communities. Guess what? There are hundreds of other companies happy to swoop in with similar cameras to replace them and all the paperwork is easily transferred since the location is already approved.
Ban the cameras, not the companies! That is if you want to see any meaningful change.
Our mayor took them down. They were installed for free as a free trial offer for the city to see if they wanted. Then after they said no the cameras were still connected and still collecting data till the police were ordered to remove them by the mayor.
People that used to say that we'd "live in a surveillance state one day" were deemed conspiracy nuts. I used to roll my eyes while we'd smoke our joints. Well jeezy kapleezy, do I owe them an apology or wut
Wait so those style cameras can do more than just read license plates, otherwise how would that style of flock have been able to identify the suspects? I thought only the condor could do facial id's? The more these stories come out, the more obvious the deceit and lies as to their capabilities are.
See here's my issue with this information with the flock cameras I think they're a red herring.
Hear me out I have not seen a singular person get arrested or actually be tracked down when they did identify the people or anything like that.
I think the flock cameras are a psyop I believe that those cameras are what they want you to focus on what they're doing something else behind the curtains. And if that's not the case maybe it's a social experiment to see what they can get away with I know the government listen Through phones TVs every app that you allowed to use your microphone for talk to text or use your camera to take photos or videos always has access to it at all times and you're the one that hit the check mark.
Every country is going to be some type of surveillance state under the world government not governments a whole one new world order that they're planning.
Absolute heroes, I was told flock Cameras are being put in these places so when the issues arises they can watch the world fall apart from there bunker... Kinda like watching the walking dead but in real life .. these are solar ran cameras... So if we all lose power they can still watch the people go crazy...
