Flock Surveillance company is expanding
I recently discovered a company called Flock which apparently is building a massive surveillance network. I came across a reddit post on r/sysadmin where an admin received a request to install a black box device so that law enforcement could access cameras.

The.. political views? As in, where they decided to stop defending Nazis?
Toxic.
They are fairly far left. I think freedom and privacy shouldn't he political. That is why I felt the need to leave a disclaimer as there are some political statements in the page.
If you consider the ACLU to be 'far left' I don't think I want you at my kickbacks tbh
everything is political.
this company pushing invasive surveillance tech upon underserved-and-overpoliced communities like mine is political.
our "representatives" accepting invasive surveillance technology is political.
our "representatives" requesting more invasive surveillance technology is political.
"law enforcement" having (real-time) access to all of these invasive surveillance tech like LPRs & cameras is political.
the core purpose of the police is political.Also, the political cannot be seperated from the economic.
the
bourgeoiscapitalistcorporate media outlets push narratives that spread fear because it draws attention... more eyes/ears means that they can sell commercial time/spots at a higher rate to advertisers.
so, these outlets generate revenue by scaring the shit out of their audience.our ostensible "representatives" run on & fundraise off of these manufactured narratives.
the police officer associations use this fear to lobby our "representatives" for greater resources (i.e., an increased share of the municipal budget (i.e, less money for everything else) shiny, new toys, more officers, etc.).
the companies supplying invasive surveillance tech make money through sales and/or (future) contracts.
it's all political, and the political is connected to the economic.
Saying it won't help on Lemmy. When its users see anything related to politics, they will fight. Just ignore it.
Theyve been popping up all over my area. My city doesn't have them buy we are surrounded by them on three sides. Its fucking disgusting and terrifying and no one seems to give a shit and just get annoyed that I point them out every time we pass one.
Would love an OSM map that had surveilance camera locations listed. Looked on organic maps, but that's not an option to place.

I like the last pictures , looks someone ripped one and examined it. I was about to suggest to do that break them at night
I wouldn't commit a crime. That seems like a very bad idea and could result in a criminal record and prison time.
Fight with our spirit, voice and civil disobedience.
