The irony of tracking cameras not having trackers inside them.

I imagine they are in the nearest trash bin, but who knows.
(The broken cameras, no idea if they have trackers).
“Sir it appears they cut it down, the next people came by and moved it off the sidewalk, the next people couldn’t mow the lawn with it in the way so they through it off to the side, and the building owner had someone move it off his property by having someone put it in the trash so it didn’t look like shit”

You mean, somebody cut it down?
Naaah… surely it was just the wind that moved this chainsaw.
18 daysIIRC they are common SBCs and components. They can be broken down and components resold.

They do have GPS trackers inside, but those can be defeated by putting them in a metal container, underwater, or underground. Or they might be disabled if the camera is destroyed and unpowered.

If I saw someone sawing down a Flock camera, I probably didn’t see anyone.

If I lived in the US I’d just go around in blacked out sunglasses the whole time because there’s so many things that you better not see.
Well, it’s 16GB total, which would be pretty good for a Pi or two.

They actually don’t own the cameras though. They rent them for $3,500 annually.

Hopefully the solar panels are being used for something useful now like charging some homeless person’s phone.

Sabotage is a deliberate action aimed at weakening a polity, government, effort, or organization through subversion, obstruction, demoralization, destabilization, division, disruption, or destruction. One who engages in sabotage is a saboteur. Saboteurs typically try to conceal their identities because of the consequences of their actions and to avoid invoking legal and organizational requirements for addressing sabotage.

I imagine there are also some low level cops relieved to see them gone but don’t want to say so publicly. After all, AI is coming for their jobs too. Pretty soon buying a state patrolman a Honda Goldwing to patrol the highway will be an impossible sell when we could just strap a few more cameras to a pole or fly a drone. Everyone but the bootlickiest of the bootlickers will eventually hit their breaking point with this increasing public surveillance, just not until it goes poorly for them personally.

If they were capable of thinking that holistically and with foresight, they would not be allowed to be hired as cops.

I waa trying and probably failing to explain to someone that no matter who you are or what you believe, one day the fascists will demand of you something you don’t want to do.
Even if you’re a cop.

Nah, those cameras aren’t coming for their jobs at all. Ultimately, the cops will always need bodies holding riot shields and shooting civilians.

Sounds like something a Flock camera could solve… upp, awwwwww. 😭
Wait, the cameras couldn’t tell you that?
Must not have been very effective.
