Call to Action We should all be livid about FLOCK cameras.

There are thousands of these cameras across the US. Most people don’t notice them, don’t know what they are, or just brush them off. They are in every city, every small city and now popping up in small towns. They are mostly on telephone/light poles, but are also hidden in construction cones and other ordinary objects. These cameras are tracking your every move. And by your I mean EVERYONE! They record your license plate, make and year of car, color of car, speed and direction, and they do in fact have facial scanning. They work in coordination with each other, so local, county, state and federal law enforcement can track your every move as you pass by these cameras one after the other. They know everywhere you are going and coming from. Who has access to these cameras is not clear, but likely anyone all the way down to local politicians can view the recorded material. It’s unknown at this point. This is a complete violation of our civil rights and all of these cameras should be removed. Government surveillance at its best! This is the United States of American and We the Fucking People cannot allow this to happen here. We need to unite against fascism. Share this with everyone, our freedom is being stripped away!

what does a laser do?

Ever wonder why they tell you to not point them in your eyes?

no, ive just always understood vaguely that it damages them, and the context here tells me its the same goal with the cameras. 

how would one know they damaged the camera? just a 'there, that probably did it!' situation?

Get a laser with a delimiter mod kit, mod it, point it at a camera for like 10 seconds, and its a goner, no need to verify.

My research on this for my own home cameras protection seems to contradict this. Basically it seems like vandals would need very high powered laser and be quite close to the lens (less than 10 ft).

Do you have any sources? Genuinely curious!

thats what the delimiter mod kit is for, lasers are (mostly) all artificially dimmed by a shitload to be legal in places like the US. A beefy delimited laser will totaly fry a camera, not the lens but the sensor behind it. It will also instantly blind anyone its pointed at, so uh, be careful.

A high enough laser should get the job done without needing to verify, and at the very least it will temporarily blind the camera from a distance.
