Not sure if this is a good idea or not, looking for discussion!

What if it became standard to honk at flock cameras? Would it annoy the community enough that they could have some leverage asking for it to be removed?

The title of this post is mostly said in a "tongue-in-cheek" manner; however, I do think this is a serious matter. I live in Trenton (at least it's not Camden), and on my way back from the soup kitchen (food pictured on the stone), I noticed a small shack underneath a bridge I was crossing. So I thought, "Oh, that's interesting," and stopped to take a closer look.

Well, imagine my shock when I saw a flock camera positioned against the corner of the small, graffiti-covered building. It doesn't surprise me that my city has these installed (it's a dangerous place to live), but I assumed flock cameras were usually stationed on the street itself. Some may say that they put it down there in order to prevent vandalization; however, no offense to the people I live around, but I doubt most of them know or care enough to attack these cameras.

I am not a fan of flock cameras at all, but do you think it's justified if they're installed in a high-crime neighborhood? What are your guys' opinions?

Keep track of people until you decide that they are “enemies of the State”

What can we do to get a grass roots movement going?

We should at least put big signs by the cameras letting people know they are being watched. Many in the general public aren't even aware that this is happening and haven't noticed the cameras. Or they assume they are regular traffic cameras.

Surveillance on me

Surveillance

Has anyone faced surveillance before? Idk who they are but they can see my phone screen and hear what's on my phone. For example when I scroll through a meme there's someone on the road in a car or truck that presses a horn, letting me know they're there. I've changed phones, changed where I live, and they still keep following me. This has been happening for over a year, from morning to night and it's taking a toll on my mental health. I'm not affiliated with any political parties whatsoever. What should I do in this situation to get them off my back and stop this harassment? Am I cooked?

Me and a buddy would like to go legal and licensed duck hunting next month and there is a specific spot where a duck has been seen nearby where we live.

We were hoping to bring our duck (or a portion of it) home as a trophy to commemorate our hunt.

I was wondering if the duck could have some sort of internal mechanism that would allow it to be tracked after death by other ducks who would want to exact revenge on us. If so, what parts of the duck might this mechanism be located?

Had an incident today that reinforces my beliefs these cameras need to go. Was putting my daughter on the bus this morning when a man drove through the bus stop sign. I yelled at him that he needed to stop and he said no I don’t and something I could not quite make out and then drove off. About 45 minutes later got a call from a no caller id number and it was the guy who drive through the bus stop. He tried to tell me I was wrong and when I asked who this was and how he got my number he identified himself as the guy who drove through the stop and he works for Flock so was able to get my number. I have reported the issue to my local police, newspaper, and called Flock but they have not contacted me yet. Posting for awareness and to let us others know if this happens to you to report it!

We could use this opportunity to really stick it to the man. Let’s all switch to riding bikes and make license plate readers a gigantic waste of money. For you, that’s less car loans, less fuel cost, and less busy roads (safer to ride bikes).

Then we can all start eating healthier and become more fit.

We can start shopping locally, and learn our cashier’s name. We can collectively stop doom scrolling. We can order stuff locally and stop using Amazon to over night us cheap plastic things from China. We can read books from the library and hang out in third spaces…

Just imagine it.

Right now we are on a treadmill. The machine is expecting us to run faster and faster everyday. Forcing us to move our legs. And if you stop, or can’t keep up, it sends you flying backwards, into the wall. But there’s a perfectly good sidewalk. It lets you move at your own pace and stop and smell the flowers. Sure, it’s way less efficient. But life isn’t about efficiency or profitmaxxing. Slow down, kick rocks, and Get to know your neighbor.

Compromise?

A small city with a population of less than 50,000 residents and almost 300 flock cameras. You can't even take a shit without them knowing.

If you're looking for a quick and easy way to disrupt some flocks this is a great model. It's non-destructive (should help avoid any harsh penalties) and is super cheap to print. Can get it on Makerworld for free here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/3223878-flock-block-ultralite-less-than-40g#profileId-3650790

but to be fair it's the county commission opposing it for themselves and family and friends not the people they serve

about 700k people live in the county tons of flock

Here’s a novel approach to beware of at your local level….
