    Correction: No they fucking didn’t.

    And if you think you saw someone doing this, no the fuck you didn’t.

        Hercules was with me all night. We were doing competitive pushups.

        He won. Because he’s awesome, and he can balance a spoon on his nose, and he tore down soooooo many flock cameras…I mean…no, not that last one. I don’t know why I said that. He was with me all night in the garage doing push-ups.

      They will attach AI controlled gun turrets to them, and let them defend themselves.

    False sense of security.
    Automated system that cannot protect itself (I’m not mad tho).

    But why the city needs to pay for the new cameras?
    Who is the owner? No insurance?

      In a lot of cases, from what I’ve heard, the local police pay Flock to put them cameras up, then continue to pay Flock to utilize them. From Flock’s perspective it’s an insanely good business model.

      From the perspective of a citizen who’s paying for it, I hope everyone working for Flock d- actually, never mind.

      When I think of an automated system that can protect itself, ED-209 comes to mind for some reason.

    I’m stating it now: This is an insurance scam/propaganda scare by Flock to shore up more money and “excuses” for their cameras 😉

    Take that as you will.

      Makes me think about those Meta glasses, how those cameras are capable of facial recognition, and they’re so small you could easily hide them anywhere. These giant black cameras on poles right out in the open could be a red herring… I dunno. With the way things have been going, it wouldn’t surprise me.

    Police are pretty much helpless against anyone who doesn’t drive, has friends and a pair of walkie-talkies.
