Yeah. They also love it when there's a specific date to ensure they have extra patrols nearby. Rebellions need to be unexpected and anonymous - an event that people are encouraged to publicly post about and participate in sounds like a trap.
Eh they can't be everywhere at once. If there's no specific location I don't think it matters too much.
Sure, but they can increase the amount of cops working that night, and make sure that stay near the cameras. Might not make much of a difference in big cities, but smaller towns that only have a few cameras will probably be watched with much more scrutiny.
Devil's night and Halloween are already their busiest days.
Yeah any community that dedicates officers to watch cameras on halloween and then sees a kid run over is going to have a serious fucking shitshow on their hands, so I doubt they'll be watching them.

Especially with all the razor blades being put into caramel apples and prescription pills added to prepackaged candy
Yeah, but then they have to explain why the city spent money to protect flocks property instead of truck or treaters
The cops are immediately gonna use the tune of “the perp drove away and our flock cameras got cut down by some punks so we couldn’t track the car”
They’ll just pay everyone overtime and double shift everyone on the taxpayers dime, it’s okay.
No one's doing that here, I just like sharing tips about home improvement. For example, did you know that spray foam insulation can be found at basically any hardware store, and can be used to close up gaps in your home? It's better to get the closed-cell type, as it dries into a stiffer, more durable material that lasts longer. You can also find sprayers that have long hoses for insulating the difficult-to-reach areas of your home.
Also the liquid and fumes aren't good for you, so make sure you use it in a well-ventilated environment and wear appropriate protective clothing like gloves, high-coverage sleeves, and a mask as needed.

And please leave your phone and other devices at home if you're doing this. Flock cameras detect and track nearby phones.
Can I post about crimes I have absolutely no intention of committing? Just to kinda muddy the water?
Theses are unconstitutional and are violating your fourth amendment rights. No law to break removing shit that is breaking the highest law of the land.
Is that your legal advice as a lawyer? Because all the ones I know say to not post about this on the internet.
Surely that’ll stop them from beating your ass and doing parallel construction

sure but fuck this shitty ai picture.
I won't because I don't live in a police state, but I'm rooting for everybody who does.
Illinois has them EVERYWHERE 🤮😭
I hear all flock vandalisms have been done by Benjamin Netanyahu. And from what I can tell he's going to be very busy Oct 31st
A better question is, "will I support any flash in the pan movement that calls for the public to disguise themselves for any reason?" Yes. And if anything illegal happens that negatively impacts America's domestic enemies in the process, then that's just the price of freedom, and the only thing i witnessed was groups of middle aged men in red hats committing crimes.
They were all white, 55 years or older, dressed in red hats screaming Trump 2028, and they were responsible for all the damage
Im the one whose gonna be committing all these crimes so if you do any of these crimes I actually did them hahaha I am targeting every single flock camera in America even though I am not there I have my ways you will never catch me even tho it is definitely me doing all of it
Anyone who damages these cameras was actually at my Halloween party, they had 2 drinks and were dressed as a hamburger. They slept here and left the next morning.
They were also at my conspicuously beefy Halloween orgy
And, yes, I mean that the super gay way, not the terrible costume idea way

I've seen evidence that the fastest way to cut down aluminum pipes is a circular saw. Sawzaws and portable band saws gum up the blades and slow down the cut. Not related, just thought you should know.
I found a good deal on large diameter pipe cutters, and I like that they are very silent and surprisingly quick to use so I don't disturb my neighbors when I am doing large scale plumbing in my basement.
Just like the start of Cool Hand Luke
Could you link? All I'm seeing are soft tube or copper pipe cutters, which, no way in hell.
I had a dream once about someone cutting vertical pipes just for giggles, and he would always press against the pipe with a gloved hand (gloved for safety reasons), or have a friend do it (also gloved). Dream person told me the force on the pole was to keep the metal pole from biting down on the blade causing binding.
They said they also prefer a circular saw, but aluminum is pretty soft so you could even cut it with a hand saw if being quiet is more important to you than being quick.
Well, yes circular saw would be good and way more compact than a sawz all, but you'll still want a metal blade. The default for any saw will probably be for wood, or maybe a wood and nail blade. That'll take a year and a half to cut through one, and then be ruined.
I can't, we had them removed already.
No, Sir, officer.
I would never. Neither will most of the good men and women here.
Take your fishing expedition elsewhere.
So, Purge. But for Flock. I'm down.
On the one night of the year that it isn't suspicious at all to go walking around wearing a mask the whole time. Smart.
Well, I was planning on being an ICE Agent for Halloween.
If you want to dress up as a monster that's an easy way to do it.
It's weird. All the ones near my neighborhood were cut one night and took an absurd amount of damage falling. Almost like they were hit with a bat or 3.
Crime later? Email your city leaders today! And next week, and the week after… show your face too when you can: no votes for Flock supporters.
i don't think i need to.
by the time i make it out to destroy them, the high schoolers will have destroyed them already.
as we have said before, the kids are alright. the flock camera out by the unofficial kids' rifle shooting range by the tracks is always full of holes. on halloween i'm sure that's going to be all of them around the county (these kids got minibikes)
No, but there aren't any here.
