it is your duty to destroy it.
Can someone please design an open source drone with a tank of refillable black paint?
Would be great to get swarms of cheap autonomous drones that just hide in the trees charging during the day, and fly around at night deactivating these surveillance cameras.
Do they have to be autonomous? Because your idea sounds fun.
I think the project would be much more resilient if they were autonomous. You’d just need to hire some hippies to climb trees and refill paint tanks every now and then
Everyone knows these cameras have a tendency to fall apart on their own. You’d think that with each camera having about 3lbs of copper and all the precious metals that they’d hold up better.
Someone should go around and put up flyers under the cameras that say something about how much copper and gold is inside. Give the tweakers a goal to shoot for.
And a dime bag of meth in every camera!
DarkNet and then its a fucking wizard with a balloon.
We already know what does and doesn’t have cheddar in it.

A lot of them could be reasonably parted out or reflashed. Most of them you can get root with a button sequence
IF you do this, make sure to dismantle it and rip out the radio BEFORE you take it back to the workshop. Or a metal bucket with lid is an effective faraday cage you could take the camera(s) to more discrete location to remove the radios. GPS/GLONAS/5G/BLE/WiFi can all be vectored and traced.
That sounds valuable
They’re an excellent platform to upgrade with thermite.
Uplifting news
So only Illinois & Cali are doing this. 78K left to go💀
And oregon, and Virgina, and several others the article does not explicitly name…
I don’t know, it gets pretty windy where I am, it could just be that
This sounds like a quality assurance failure.
The will probably have one camera pointing at another camera now
Praxis
Modern day remake of Cool Hand Luke?
So what’s the trick to doing this if they’re on a 12 ft pole?
Pole shortener. Can pick them up at any hardware store.
Get two six-foot Poles to do it in exchange for pierogi.
The pole isn’t the issue I see. It’s… well. How does one dispose of a camera that is watching you dispose of it?
Seems like all they gotta do is watch you walk up, get a face or a plate, and then knock on your door later and write a hefty fine.
Do it at night and wear something like this ?
Thanks for sharing this! There’s also IR blocking glasses, Zenni sells them and they’re not super expensive and can be rx glasses
They only point one direction.
Bicycles. And you start at the edges. This is why we mapped their coverage
Offer a nice bounty on them for the unhoused. Can’t knock on your door if you don’t have a door! If some of the parts inside are valuable enough to make the endeavor self sustaining then it’s simply a case of successful morally appropriate civil disobedience.
Shooting it would probably work.
I was at a town hall meeting for the little town I live in. There was a line item to discuss the installation of a flock camera. A quip rang out from the crowd when it was mentioned: “Have you seen a stop sign without a bullet hole in it in the area? Do you think that camera would somehow not be shot?”
Well if you’re going that route, I think a drone with spray paint would be better than a gun
My township has been putting them on essentially every roadway entering. Some of them doubled up on the same roadway seemingly to single out those living between the two sets. Not 10 minutes south they don’t even have them on freeway ramps.
They are spreading all over the Denver metro. Where I’m at many developments with HOAs seem to be the primary driver. It’s wild there can be a dead end street with a few condos and someone directed their HOA or covenant funds to purchase cameras. Only people going in and out are residents.
Just install other flock cameras to protect the first ones or better hire some cops to do that, oh wait
I want lenses! For diy optics! Hopefully we’ll see pieces showing up on fleabay soon.
Come to think of it, maybe hard drives are bad! Yeah those things are evil! Put them on eBay!
