A 77-year-old Republican man is staging a solo protest against Flock cameras

A persons political persuasion can tell you something about their values, and the policies they would prefer enacted for a given topic.

Republicans AFAIK have not been on the crusade to end mass surveillance or promote privacy laws to regulate big tech, so seeing a republican man stand up for this right might help you understand that the sentiment of the party is not unanimous.

Best comment this week, so far.

I cannot stand it that disingenous and ignorant people pretend this isn't the case, you can all go to hell.

To be clear, I do not support Flock cameras.

I suppose "blocking the view of surveillance cameras" is probably illegal though.

  “heavy-set male with a black and white hat”

  “person on skateboard”

  “person wearing orange vest and construction hat”

If done obliquely enough... e.g., just making a tracker and having the ability for people to report broken cameras, you're probably fine in theory. In practice, this is a litigious society, so you'd want to build this anonymously.

It does not gamify or otherwise encourage damaging them, which would be legally risky.

You can argue that this shouldn't be about politics, but how many years of living under an authoritarian government do you need?

Everything is about politics now.

For the community, the vandal, and progress, no.
