Oh, yes.

Been a while since it's felt like the people have any power.

they'll just start hiding them better.. and in places that are most certainly a bad idea to tamper with, like embedded right inside stop lights

Yeah this is the sort of thing we now have to stay vigilant about. Companies, state and local officials, and law enforcement all want a 24/7 queryable surveillance network to happen.

Would be crazy if the general public became aware of axon too!

We need to start gathering signatures for recall elections when our elected officials go rogue and start approving data centers and mass warrantless surveillance.

They have drones that record from up high now

Drones have to come down for fuel. Used mainly when there is a suspected target, not for general surveillance

The they’ll learn that it’s expensive to hide them there, and they’ll have to leave a note about that to their successors when they get voted the FUCK out

My city sadly just voted to renew a contract for another year.

No one wanted this shit, but it happened anyway.

For completely unrelated reasons, I just want to point out that it's two months until Halloween... I think a masked person with a bayonet saw is what's cool this year.

Make sure they don’t just switch to another vendor and when they do keep cutting those down.

I think the Flock cameras are proprietary to their network, so the logistics of switching are that much harder. Love this type of news, either way.

The privacy aspect is obviously terrible of flock cameras. But this situation if fucking hilarious: Puts up cameras to prevent crimes -- crimes instead removes the cameras. Wooow, really proving how effective they are at preventing crimes huh?! It's almost as the whole thing just demonstrates its all about the police having the power to stalk unknowing victims and not preventing crimes.
