Meanwhile, no doubt the town meeting last weeks was full of people complaining about flock cameras:

People do not want mass surveillance. They do not want data centers. If you do not listen to your citizens, they will take action.

Okay... So what is he being charged with? Destruction of property or destruction of government property? Because those are very different charges.

The printer was used for work purposes for the City. Time to Open Records its print history.

It's a 3d printed decoy, meaning it was worth like $10, tops. Good luck having those charges stick, assholes.

"Vandalizing art" because this bullshit felony charge they're trying to hit him with is nonsensical so they come up with another nonsensical charge. Dude just removed a piece of 3D printed trash that the city already acknowledged was placed unauthorized. He should send them an invoice for the removal.

Did the cops have the right permits from the city to install their personally-produced "art" on city property? No? Charge the fuckers!

Someone should install a flock cam pointing towards the arresting officers backyard
