easily reproducible stuff

when i lived in austin, i witnessed several instances of "texan progressives" call the police on protestors for preventing the self driving taxis from stealing peoples in jobs by sitting in the street to block them; while people in san francisco & oakland looked the other way when protestors threw paint destroyed the sensors on the self driving taxis.

californians have the proper mindset to affect change and i REALLY miss living there sometimes.

If you know Flock, most of their cheap cameras go down all by themselves. Even when they’re operating as intended, their capture rates are under 70%, which is why you usually find them in pairs monitoring the same direction of traffic. That dinky solar panel can barely power them through the night so most of their cameras are dead in the early morning hours.

The only way Flock stays in business is by literally giving their cameras away by illegally installing them in municipalities and waiting for them to be ordered removed. You’d probably be doing most cities a favor by taking them down.

Is there anything of value in the camera set-ups to steal and quickly turn into cash? If so, an information campaign to raise awareness of the value amongst crackheads and meth addicts could work wonders.
