How would a Flock camera ID them, its only supposed to be able to read a license plate, right?!
Flock said they were only using the cameras for license plates. Cat is out of the bag now.

Literally the title of the post.

The whole town was my place for poker night at the time that happened. Must have been someone else.
Neomega@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yeah I was at his place for it and saw the entire town as well. Also we had a no pictures or GPS devices rule in place.

They're assuming someone sprayed them. Without seeing anyone doing it. Maybe this foam just happened.
Maybe it was aliens. Or bigfoot.
Who knows...
ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It’s expanding foam. It only knows growth. It will seek to spread its borders in pursuit of some idealized pseudo-history idealized from stories the foam heard growing up. And Flock has no flags so it’s free real estate.
Mirshe@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Ah damn, I knew I had missed the market for expansionist foam.

I was in that same place and saw Netanyahu spraying yellow stuff out of a can, pretty sure it was him
ms_lane@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Jared Kushner was with him joking around. I saw it.

Gunning down unarmed civilians in the street for the crime of filming with a phone is completely fine, but non-destructive tampering with the police state surveilance systems is where they draw the line
AstralPath@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
To be fair, spray foam would be destructive to the lens or lexan/glass cover over the lens. Spray foam is insanely messy. You really don’t want it getting anywhere it shouldn’t be. In this case, I can’t think of a more appropriate target for the foam.

I took apart a Flock camera and I found many ounces of pure gold & other valuable rare-Earth metals
They are literally filled with gold. Every single one is good for at least $30,000 of salvage metal and gold

Probably just the wind.
Abyssian@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
You’re right, it must be a cat doing this. I’ve seen many cats using spray foam to vandalize things recently, and the ones that have been kept in bags are especially bad.

Can a paintball be filled with expanding foam and still work?
Adulated_Aspersion@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Expanding foam like this uses 2 chemicals reacting with oxygen as a catalyst. While definitely possible to create, I would highly advise against this in a DIY application. In my very limited exposure to paintball, I have had some burst paintballs in the hopper and in the gun itself.
CaptSatelliteJack@lemy.lol 2 weeks ago
Regular paintballs work just fine. Or so I’ve heard.

Looks like the work of that lovable scamp Barron Trump. What happened to boys will be boys?! Fl-Woke cameras strike again!
EpicFailGuy@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
LFG! take every single conviction to trial, Jury nullification. Literally no one wants these fucking things.

I their system can’t even catch this, it seems a bit useless.
As the city, I’d claim a refund
pigup@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
The city officials who would do this already got their own “refund” so…

I don’t know, that kinda looks like bird poop to me. Are you sure a bird didn’t poop on them?
atrielienz@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Those birds were with me at the vet the whole time.
popekingjoe@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yeah and I was there. We were getting them deloused.
TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I think the cameras just ate something that didn’t agree with them.
danc4498@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Find the person training birds to poop in flock cameras.
TIEPilot@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Birds aren’t real, they are government drones too. Ever seen a baby pigeon? Cities have millions, they are all the same size.
Never any babies.
ms_lane@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Wrong!

StumblingWasabi@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
Actually I am sure. It is definitely bird poop. No case here we can move on
Siethron@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Nah those a clearly wasp nests. Bet it’s an endangered species too. Better leave them up there.
