    The people taking down flock cameras are heroes not criminals.

      The people taking them dawn are heroes and criminals. “Criminal” just means they’re not aligned with the law, not that they’re in some way immoral. In a country as corrupt as this, it’s a title to be worn proudly.

      Ohh, I thought the headline meant members of organized crime were concerned about the increased surveillance, so they were making a concerted effort to reduce the network coverage

        Even smaller criminal orgs can seem heroic, momentarily, when acting against a larger, more pervasive and communal threat.☝🏼

    I hate both short form and vertical videos, but in this case I’ll make an exception.

    Is a criminal to a criminal really a hero? Does a double negative become a positive? I think so.

    So criminals are doing it the same way as non-criminals?

      Actually, it would be extremely lucrative if flock was the people cutting down the cameras, wiping them, and selling them back to the user/municipality at the replacement cost stated in the contract, and using Antifa as a cover.

    A grinder will cut through a steel pole like that so much faster than a recip.

      He literally points out that the recip is quieter, and he’s got it chopped in seconds, so the fractions of such that a grinder’d offer are negligible. If anything, I’m curious what the comparative battery-life is between a reciprocating saw & angle grinder, but that’s even more pedantic, honestly. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    It’s way easier just take a hammer, smash the lens, or spray paint the lens and then remove only the camera

    remove the battery

    take it somewhere thats NOT your home, and press the button on the back enough times, and you enable adb

    now you have a flock pc, which you can customize to remove the spyware through adb and do anything u want
