A. That's what insurance is for.

B. Nice of them to publish the locations they consider most valuable to Flock.

C. Expect heightened surveillance and tracking chips on and replacement cameras.

D. They do not fucking cost 3k. They do not cost more than 40 bucks for flock. They're cheap and extremely destructible. The city pays 3k, you pay 3k, you pay more than that with your freedom and privacy.

If your city is so intent on fucking that up, bankrupt them. Make them pay the 3k per unit as many times as you can. Use the deflock map, they're always pointing toward the road(s), go behind and cut them down. Or use a long distance spray paint nozzle, high powered laser, weaponized meth head or whatever.

Who cares what they cost, they will cost you your life if you wait long enough.

This makes the company money and costs the taxpayer.

Sure, but running a bus system moves people and provides transportation. Monitoring people with cameras is purely a cost.

Its kind of amusing how big media companies spent 3 decades ingraining everyone into gang concepts like "snitches get stiches" but then cry for public help when their dystopian camera network gets taken out.

Don't sufficiently powerful lasers permanently damage cameras like that?

A watched a YouTube a while back that it was debunked. Consumer grade lasers cannot do it. Unless you're willing to shell hundreds of bucks and shoot it from a battery pack, it might be easier to accidentally take one down with a hand saw.

No. People tested and you have to get 3 Watt laser which is crazy powerful and keep it on the sensor from a tripod fairly close (<50ft) for at least 5 minutes for any pixels to get fried.

A good quality consumer laser pointer will fuck up a DSLR or mirrorless camera sensor, so that would make sense.

This is a good idea. Someone should take them apart and point out the vulnerabilities.
