42 dems in the house just passed a bill with the republicans for warrentless mass surveillance too. apparently 19 desented from the republican side. and this was likely in exchange for the shutdown ending for funding DHS.
There’s a reason the black panthers came up with “scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds”. By the time the average voter realizes that they’re living in a totalitarian surveillance state — constructed by the conservatives/fascists and liberals working hand in hand across multiple decades — it’ll be far too late to do anything about it.
They realize for a while now. It is obvious to everyone, they are just more concerned with getting their shows now, hating on trans, and baitin.
Anecdotally, a significant number of policemen’s wives were the targets of stalking by their soon-to-be husbands. You hear about cops noticing a young woman, calling up her details, getting her existing boyfriend out of the picture, intimidating away other rivals and then pursuing her until they’ve worn her down into submission.
Flock needs to be shut down.
…along with all the other dystopian tech
Flock needs to be illegal, and laws need to actually be enforced.
Is there a good way to damage, disable, or render these less effective that is easy to execute on?
Asking for a friend.
HERF cannon. Basically, a microwave with a horn antenna to direct the beam. Unless you’re comfortable and educated about high voltage equipment, don’t fuck around with it though.
Paintball gun probably. Can be done from range and more hidden. Maybe the force of the impact wil even damage the camera lens.
Though hitting it accurately enough might be a challenge in the beginning, but practice makes perfect.
removal might be more useful as it will cost them more to replace them.
Lol I think in the UK they are cutting the poles down or using a paint brush on a pole to cover the lens
That’s a good approach as well, i just assumed it’s too high up to reach that easily.
Okay I like this as I do have a paintball gun in storage…
…but can’t they just clean it off fairly easily?
My concern is if the quantity of my actions hits a threshold I will face…problems.
I don’t know much about the construction of the cameras but freezing paintballs was a thing in my day…
Probably, but someone has to come and clean it off.

That’s the neat part with paintball gun, it can be done far away enough and baggy clothes and face covering will make it harder to identify you. Though have to be careful not to switch clothes in range of any cameras and no phone with you while you’re out.

Only one way to find out. But wouldn’t a steel ball bearing or glass marble already suffice? Like is a paintball gun able to shoot those out, if in correct size?
better to do it at night too.
Slingshot?
more easily concealed and accurate
Concealment is easier, but accuracy and strength might depend too much on the skill level of the user?
With a paintball gun the ability for repeated shots with minimal change in stance or aiming might outweigh the benefits of better concealment.Though i am biased towards paintball gun as I’ve used those, but i haven’t used a proper slingshot.
to me it’s a lower skill level for a handheld projectile weapon, easy to become proficient at, whereas the paintball gun you need cartridges of CO2, ammo, etc, and also carry the weight of it being mistaken for a real gun.
Good point.
