"License plate readers are not "big brother" surveillance tools," Berlin said in a statement. "Any tampering with, or theft of an LPR is not only a serious crime, but it also impedes law enforcement and diminishes public safety."

Lisle Police Chief Michael Rodriguez added that Flock cameras "do not replace police officers nor monitor people's daily lives—they simply capture objective information that helps investigators solve crimes."

C'mon people! Stop calling it "surveillance equipment" that "monitors people daily lives" when it really just surveils people in their daily lives!

Do your civic duty and go to jury duty. Jury Nullification will be so important in the near future.

Guys brought a phillips bit when a masonry bit woulda done just fine.

Sounds like they're gonna get charged with theft because they didn't destroy the cameras.

If they would have, hypothetically, used low-recoil subsonic rifles with suppressors (basically silent) to blow the cameras apart from a distance, they wouldn't be as much evidence against them. Maybe add an unregistered barrel and casing collector to prevent the bullet being used as evidence. Also, you can shoot from within a vehicle if you get the right angle and cover your plates. Hypothetically.

Which one is the drummer?
