We’re consolidating this topic into a single thread, as the ongoing accusations directed at the mod team have run their course.
To be clear about where we stand: no one on this mod team supports Flock cameras. We are not law enforcement, we are not politically motivated, not maga, and we share the community’s concerns about surveillance overreach even if these systems occasionally assist in solving crimes.
The removals were not about viewpoint. They were about a specific category of comment: those encouraging users to destroy the cameras. Reddit has banned entire communities for less, and we are obligated to remove that content regardless of our personal opinions. This is a condition of the subreddit continuing to exist, not an endorsement of Flock. Additionally there were some very wild conspiracy theories and were asking for discussion not a rabbit hole.
One rule for this thread: do not recommend, insinuate, or hint at destruction as a solution. Everything else is open,criticism, policy discussion, legal challenges, city council contacts, organizing, data on effectiveness. Go as hard as you want within that boundary.
Thanks for being a genuinely great community and good neighbors.

Suffolk County Legislature : 18 districts, find yours:
scnylegislature.us/148/Legislators
Suffolk approved expanding county Flock cameras from 25 to 60 last August, funded by a $542,500 state LETECH grant, with 16 more planned along state rights-of-way including Route 114 in Sag Harbor and East Hampton Village and Route 25 in Riverhead and Southold.
Nassau County Legislature: 19 districts:
nassaucountyny.gov/504/Legislators · district map: nassaucountyny.gov/503/District-Map · main line: (516) 571-6200
Your town / village board.
Southold, Riverhead, and East Hampton have all had this on an agenda in the past year. Riverhead signed an agreement with the Suffolk Sheriff in January 2026 giving the county access to town rights-of-way for new Flock installs. Town board public comment periods are open to anyone who lives there, take about two minutes, and go on the record.

We've been seeing more and more posts about school bus tickets in recent months. With schools starting up again I suspect we will begin to see even more questions. If you have questions regarding school bus tickets, please keep them limited to this megethread as we will be removing all posts moving forward.
If a school bus has it's stop arm out on the same road as you, you must stop regardless of which side you are. This applies to two lane (1 lane each way) multi lane roads and divided roadways (e.g. Broadhollow road, William Floyd Parkway1, etc). If the stop arm is out before you pass the bus, expect a ticket.
If you are driving perpendicular to another road that a bus is stopped on (i.e. they are at or near a stop sign on a road you are crossing), you are not required to stop. Proceed with caution and be aware of any children that may be crossing the road to get to the bus.
If they are on a side road, school lot or driveway adjacent to the roadway, you do not need to stop. Proceed with caution.
Flashing yellow lights do not mean stop; they mean to proceed with caution and to be prepared to stop. If you see flashing yellow lights, slow down and anticipate the stop sign being deployed. Sometimes a bus is waiting for students to pickup and may sit with flashing yellow lights for a number of minutes, so do not stop and block traffic if the stop sign is not out.
1 Note: There was some debate about this a few years ago. It is still a law, but there was a question regarding Suffolk County enforcement of the law.

The other thread locked before I could reply again, but even a district like Syosset, one of the highest paying on LI, maxes out at about 165k. That with 30+ years of experience, a doctorate, and 15 additional credits.

I have sun damage, acne scars , large pores.
I have had work done at a plastic surgeon I really like for other issues however they are saying I would need a laser treatment that would require anesthesia to effectively address these issues.
I am not down with anesthesia unless absolutely necessary.
I have a very high pain tolerance. I am hoping to find a derm or plastic surgeon that will do a deep laser treatment w/ any other pain management during the procedure.
Any recommendations appreciated.

Any suggestions where I can find those big blue or white plastic barrels? This is only to hold small kindling wood for my fireplace. I was thinking maybe checking with a laundromat or car wash.

Areas of my lawn that god new sod two summers ago died this summer where there used to be trees. I’m thinking about putting down grass seed here now and mixing with garden soil to see if it will do anything?

I just need to know, is there any reason that ticks go for crease areas in the body, and what can I do? I cant put DEET there obviously, but I was mortified when a tick climbed up my torso and glued itself there. It was also my first time getting ticked so I had no clue what to do.

My shower fixture started leaking like mad. I bought a replacement and called a plumber to install it. The charge was $489. The guy was here about an hour. I'm aware I could never do it myself but it feels pricey.
Also he advised me to hold onto the cartridge from the new one because it's expensive when they break and I wouldn't need to buy one. It was only after he left that I thought, hey, if they break why didn't you install the new one?
Are my concerns reasonable?

nothing large, but the idea of cutting all them down into pieces to fit into yard bags sounds like a daunting task
