I played the video. Saw nothing. None of you did either.
EDIT:
It all went by so fast, I couldn’t tell you what happened.
You sure? I’m pretty sure we just watched a compilation video of Netanyahu’s penchant for destruction
I just heard a song I like and lots of wind.
What would cause fire like that? Assume it is an internal lithium-based battery?
If these batteries get punctured, they’ll burn like this. Source: I work in waste management, we have daily fires in the shredders because people are too lazy to properly dispose their old batteries.
A single spark can start a prairie fire.
The bush doesn’t help
strong winds too
Real question for the USA people, will shooting them be anymore of a crime? Just sounds like a faster and more fun way of doing this.
Canadian here. Way too dangerous!

Shooting upwards at the cameras puts innocent people in danger. I know gun cultures love to sky fire but in Canada we don’t do that dumb shit. Especially out west where the mountains obscure who lives a mile away. Could easily kill some rancher with no hospital for 100 miles. (or a cow!)

Ricochet. If the bullet goes through the camera and hits the pole it could deflect and injure a bystander.
-
Shrapnel. Hit the wrong spot and the camera might eject sharp pieces that could hurt someone.

People suck at aiming.
A shotgun with bird shot eliminates most of those problems.
eliminates
You spelt exasperate wrong.
Birdshot can absolutely ricochet off steel (especially at the range we’re applying it)
I don’t know why you think it would produce less shrapnel.
And birdshot almost guarantees at least 1 projectile will miss the target given there’s no backdrop.
Birdshot has a lot less mess per projectile though, so less energy in each one, and also more friction by mass, so the energy is lost a lot faster. I’m not saying it’s safe, but it is less likely to be lethal at least.
In most skeet/clay shooting ranges, there is no backstop and the shooters are aiming into the air. With the tiny pellet sizes, they lose energy quickly and drop to the ground at terminal velocity, which is much slower than the speed they were fired. That’s why I specifically named bird shot rather than buckshot which has larger heavier pellets. It would still maybe be fine but bird shot definitely would.
skeet/clay shooting ranges
“RANGE” Its it the name dumbass. A shooting range is specifically designed/located/oriented to accomodate for bullet dropoff.
But sure falsely equate that with shooting a shotgun off in the middle of town.
You are a fucking idiot. I wouldn’t normally jump to this but what you’re suggesting could kill someone.
I will be blocking you now.
You spelt exasperate wrong.
ITYM exacerbate.

Discharging a firearm in a city or near a highway is a crime, as well as being unsafe and irresponsible. Shooting from a vehicle is also usually illegal and there may be other laws specifically for firearms that they be charged with too such as possession of a firearm when committing a crime.
For example robbing a bank is a crime but robbing a bank which a firearm is two different crimes and if you show the gun that can be brandishing which is a third. For this reason, and because bank tellers are told to just hand over the money which is all government insured, most people rob banks by only passing a note to the cashier and not having any weapons at all.

By the time this is over you’re gonna have to look back when you’re backing up.
Darn! My wife is gonna be pissed and I’m gonna have to reinstall that camera.
There is more in a single video than what official numbers claim
Most of these cameras are traffic cameras. Personally I’m finding it a little gross that people against traffic cameras are putting on an anti-surveillance state image to take them down when in reality curbing aggressive driving is a pretty important part of pedestrianizing and democratizing urban centres. I’ve always had the vague feeling that this Flock camera debate has been hijacked by people who don’t actually care for improving communities.
A network of “traffic cameras” might include other sensors than a camera.
The 24/7 monitoring of an intersection outside of an abortion clinic might be used to find women that had an abortion.
Police and others with access do abuse these systems for personal use with minimal oversight.
Again, I’m not debating the problems with surveillance for non traffic related issues. However these examples in your video are very clearly traffic cameras. It does not help the issue to carry water for aggressive car driver culture in the guise of being anti-surveillance.
You may be misinformed; The flock cameras in this video are not just traffic cameras but in fact are tracking everyone’s location all the time in a national database in a way that violates the 4th amendment.
And the 1st, 14th, and 9th.
Have a council meeting to
blow upexplodiate in a few weeks. They put one of these things at the local playground of all places…Uh, may want to reword that a bit…
They are very clearly flock cameras, which also are traffic cameras.
Every one in the video is a flock camera.
Not a single camera there is a speed or stoplight camera.
Every single one in that video is a network camera on a searchable system that us regularly searched without a warrant.
These Flock cameras are ALPRs, but downplaying them as traffic cameras is disingenuous at best.
These cameras collect a myriad of descriptors aside from just plate numbers including bumperstickers, visible marks, vehicle add-ons, etc.
They allow sharing of data by not just government owned but also civilian owned cameras to create a much wider net than any standard traffic cam system. Police in Texas used a grid of 83,000 cameras to track a woman who got an abortion.
This is just the early stages of data harvest and tracking, as there’s plans to integrate SignalTrace into the mix, allowing tracking BT, wifi, and RFID signals. . Pairing these together allows even more invasive monitoring.
Ignoring how Flock already helps ICE track people, there’s also the abuse already happening as multiple reports have been filed related to officers stalking romantic interests
ALPRs arent their only product, just the first. They also sell pan/tilt cams for tracking people, high-sensitivity mics for “gunshot detection”, and drones
Which one is a traffic camera?

Looks like we got Flock astroturfing on Lemmy, not the first time I’ve seen this kinda shit

Halloween is a good time for … I forgot what I want to say … but Halloween definitely is a good time.
🤣
Isn’t it easier to shoot them with an air gun?
The cameras are going up in the street lights next.
You got lights on your car, don’t ya? Cut them down next.
Street lights are for pedestrians just as much as for motorists
