That should keep the depressions at bay for a week or so.

Probably a geolocation device as well. Be careful out there.

Don’t forget your wire mesh bags folks!
anomnom@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Steel toolboxes work even better, plus you can cosplay as a repair tech and wear a hard hat and reflective vest. Don’t forget your clip board and osha gloves!

Alternatively, smash them to bits to help your local crackhead access the components more easily!

Just a reminder that ICE vans do have catalytic converters.

Ya that would be more than $400 of gold. But there’s only one way to find out…

What is a flock camera?
AmbitiousProcess@piefed.social 2 months ago
We call ‘em ALPRs (Automated License Plate Readers) here, but yeah it’s essentially the same thing.
Their cameras are regularly abused by police officers to stalk ex’s, have begun to be used outside their original scope, can be used illegally by one agency on behalf of another that shouldn’t have access, and have been used by Flock employees to, without permission from local authorities and against their own public statements, watch children in a gym for hours while partially erasing audit logs.
They also use Flock to monitor protestors, and track abortion seekers, all while lying about their effectiveness in preventing crime, threatening people who follow their actions, and leaving countless cameras publicly exposed without password protection, covering up vulnerabilities, and lying to city officials about Flock officials watching cameras, like the ones spying on children.
They’re really fucked up, and it’s my stance that the CEO of the company and any of the employees watching footage without consent should be criminally charged for espionage, and defrauding the public, among other things.

Aww that’s disappointing but not surprising. I saw the headline of your third link and I was like “Damn cool move by wildlife conservation police, they’re helping people identify and track ICE agents and raids”. But of course that’s not what “monitoring for ICE” means, it means they’re helping ICE by monitoring the cameras for protestors.

Yes, but with AI and evilness

And built, deployed and controlled by a private company with no accountability and plenty of bribery/corruption

They don’t just read plated. They’ll recognize scratches and dents on specific vehicles and also facial recognition. Basically complete human and machine tracking. Cities with flock cameras everywhere can track every move you make.

To add to the great info already here, Flock is a private company. Think like Ring doorbells but for “Traffic Cameras”. They are mainly used to bypass laws and constitutional rights because its a for profit business. They have weaseled their way into entire cities. They not only provide back door access to any agency that pays, but they are actively building profiles on everyone they record. They know where you live, what you drive, when you work, where you work, how many people are in your family. They store all this without our consent or even notifying anyone.
Here’s a site that explains more and has an interactive map that shows where the cameras are located. deflock.org

Yes but in UK GDPR protects it to be sold. Your parking lot can only use it to fine for parking, if government wants it, “in theory” they need a Warrent.

This isn’t even remotely true, but I’m not bothered with anyone trying to convince crack heads to tear down surveillance state equipment.

Not sure how I feel about your downvotes. Do that many people just automatically downvotes at a joke without even realizing it’s a joke on the name?

Could we also remind people of the price of copper per pound?
restingOface@quokk.au 2 months ago
Too volatile. Look it up yourself for your region at the given moment.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 months ago
Not a whole lot. Only around $5 a pound.
smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Based on this we should be able to get a live scrap value for each Flock camera.

The people who would care about this likely are accustomed to using grams for some measurements
dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 2 months ago
We ain’t out here buying drugs by the pound. It’s grams and ounces unless you’re a shotter but even then you buying in ounces and kilos.
Tempus_Fugit@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Well you wouldn’t say 0.006613868 lbs of gold would you?
UndergroundParking@lemmy.cafe 2 months ago
No, but I would say “just shy of 1kg of copper”!
