Flock cameras destroyed

How did they catch him with the stolen cameras, did someone report him to the cops, the cameras recorded him or they had trackers installed? TBH a hoodie and can of black spray paint is sufficient to destroy a surveillance camera.

Luckily for those concerned about privacy, Ring cameras don't work worth a shit. Amazon couldn't bother to put any meaningful RAM or local storage on the devices. If the device detects a motion event it must wake up, connect to WIFI handshake with the AWS servers within a second or two or the entire motion event is completely dropped.

The ring cameras on youtube where it catches crazy shit going on are the wired POE versions and the user purchased the top dollar plan that records to the cloud non stop. Most everyone else is using the wifi battery powered versions. The best those are going to do is take a picture of the backside of the package thief running away in the distance with your stolen package if it picked up the motion event at all, and it probably didn't, especially if you actually needed it.

My $50 Wifi Ring Camera works fine for me, I had to tone done the sensitivity to like 35% because it would pick up shit way out in my yard. I have not had any issues with it.
 
One of my bigger fears is that one day, we will get flying cameras straight out of Half-Life 2 which also sell their info the highest bidder and don't need a warrant. Normalizing this type of behavior puts us one step closer to that reality, especially since the flying cameras already exist in the form of drones. Threads like this make me wish EMP weapon technology can get underway so there is an easier way to deal with peeping toms, if there really is no way to avoid them in the future.

Or just carry small shotguns with birdshot.

  • be normal citizen
  • go walking to the store to buy groceries
  • come out of store
  • drone suddenly races towards you
  • WTFBoom.wav
  • News will report it as a successful terrorist/threat killing
  • weeks/months later, turns out AI cameras fucked up
  • lather, rinse, repeat

>Implying it's not already underway.

Drones are sensitive to jamming.
A magnetron from a microwave with a waveguide horn could be very effective.

As for the cameras. those solar panels are a pretty big target, and easy to break, but also such a shame to not just steal them and put them to good use.

9NEWS Colorado were contacted by a private investigator who recorded a Flock salesman on Zoom telling him that Flock 'partnered' with private investigators. I.e. they're not just providing your private movements to stalkers who HAPPEN to be police officers, they're selling them to professional stalkers.
  1. Flock says that actually, their representative was lying when he admitted that they sold your private information to PIs
  2. 9NEWS points out that every denial of bad behaviour that Flock has made in the past was... a lie

404Media also made a great exposé where they used Flock to track themselves to see it's capabilities.
 
Flock CEO and spiritual pedophile Garrett Langley is now targeting HaveIBeenFlocked.com, a website that allows victims of his pedophile system to determine whether their license plates appeared in cases of pedo cops spying on citizens. This was based on entirely legal public records requests.

The pedophile enabler, Langley, has responded by falsely claiming to web hosts and other infrastructure providers that 'HaveIBeenFlocked' is somehow illegal, and by deliberately sabotaging Flock's audit logs to remove vehicle license plates, to ensure that parents whose children have been targeted by pedophile cops cannot make public records requests to verify whether they have been targeted.
Very disturbing. Why is Langley so dedicated to enabling pedophiles?

What do the pedophile allegations entail exactly?

Langley has repeatedly been caught enabling pedophiles to stalk children by leaving cameras open to the internet and to 'law enforcement' using them without legitimate purpose. He's unquestionably a pedophile enabler.

There are very legitimate grounds to object to omnipresent public camera surveillance without calling the guy who runs the camera surveillance company a pedophile because children could potentially appear on the cameras. The very real incidences of stalking and targeting political opponents in the OP are much more credible complaints.

In fact, if they're going to put up all these cameras, I think the camera feeds ought to be open and accessible by the public. And if that is objectionable, then the cameras shouldn't be there in the first place.

The public streams are very useful. Thanks to them, I am always monitoring the situation and have built my own surveillance dragnet.
 
Menasha PD officer Crístìan Moráleś was arrested last week after using Flock cameras as intended- to stalk a woman while providing no explanation for his searches besides the single word "welfare". The problem was not identified by Flock's precautions against such actions- because no such thing exists- but because the stalkee complained about it, probably because he told her that he'd done it.

Flock is expanding into drones, to allow more precise stalking of individuals and vehicles.

Flock is partnering with Mothers Against Drink Driving, to enable police to arbitrarily hunt down and pull people over not on the basis of actual impaired driving that they have actually witnessed (and which should be recorded- or not recorded if it didn't actually happen- on the camera in their cruisers), but on the basis of 'erratic' driving alerts raised solely by Flock's AI (i.e. swerving to avoid running over a cat).
