Flock ‘Objects to Our Removing Their Equipment’: Emails Reveal Why a Town Put Bags Over Its Flock Cameras

Your flock post reminder that they aren't just license plate readers. They capture Bluetooth and wifi MACs, NFC IDs, and cellphone IMEIs, scan for wifi ssids (exactly like a WiFi Pineapple, to further fingerprint a device) from every device within range. They also do facial recognition of everyone within view of the lens. All that information is sent to flock for sale to any government agency,

fuck flock

cities are unsure whether they have the legal right to remove the cameras themselves and are not sure whether they can disable their recording operations.

Just cut their connection to the grid. The power grid is not Flocks property so they cant complain if you just stop giving them free energy.

Probably solar powered :(

I should put on a reflective vest (and a mask to protect me from wildfire smoke, of course) and go around doing this to Flock cameras in my area.

All any town/city that bans Flock (when then Flock fails to comply) would need to do is put out an open hit on their cameras. That's it, just greenlight it, "We are officially not charging people for damaging Flock property, have fun." Cameras will be gone overnight.

Flock doesn't want them out as their next step is replace the governing body of what ever municipality objects to them. Then another midnight NDA sweetheart deal and their back on and spying...

I don't give a fuck if they object.

Why aren’t we just covering their solar panels? The device can still do shady shit without a camera, but without power it’s dead in the water.
