Flock also vehemently denies that their cameras are full of components and materials with a high resale value, and wants the public to stop treating them like catalytic converters.
I do not know much about flock cameras. Where are they installed? And why?
Networked security cameras that detect license plates, identifying features, etc. Sold to law enforcement, but also to home owners and businesses.
The data they collect is used by ICE to maximize their crimes against humanity.
Face detection as well, and partnered with Amazon Ring.
I think your description is reasonable, however I’d argue that they are not security cameras. Rather a nationwide public surveillance network intended to circumvent the 4th amendment.
Flock doesn’t secure people or property. They merely catalog the movements of people and vehicles for future law enforcement work, allowing both current location searches and comprehensive retrospective location history searches, all without warrants or court orders. Again, not picking on you here; just adding some color because while security camera is easy to understand, it also has a connotation that is quote different from what flock does.
Admit nothing, deny everything, and make counter accusations has been the standard argumentative tactic of “the good guys” for generations.
I have wondered if one of those “10W blue flashlights” would damage a surveillance camera.
Not as much as a 9mm kinetic flashlight
I believe you’d need a laser or some strength, and these cameras would need to lack proper filters. I’m not saying it’s not worth a shot. Just that I doubt it will be effective.
When you call everyone a terrorist. No one is.
They’re the point. Well one of the points. The other is things like the Patriot Act let them bypass laws to do otherwise illegal shit to terrorists.
White men really like to throw that word around.
