    False sense of security.
    Automated system that cannot protect itself (I’m not mad tho).

    But why the city needs to pay for the new cameras?
    Who is the owner? No insurance?

    Replacing the stolen license plate readers will cost Winona roughly $24,000 total.

    That’s one possible response to them being removed, I suppose.

    I’m pretty sure Flock cameras just… Do that sometimes. Nothing to look into, just a simple design flaw is all.

    Correction: No they fucking didn’t.

    And if you think you saw someone doing this, no the fuck you didn’t.

        Hercules was with me all night. We were doing competitive pushups.

        He won. Because he’s awesome, and he can balance a spoon on his nose, and he tore down soooooo many flock cameras…I mean…no, not that last one. I don’t know why I said that. He was with me all night in the garage doing push-ups.

          Unless by Hercules you mean Kevin Sorbo in which case, yeah, it was him alright.

            …not sure who that is, and I’m unsure why you’d throw him under the bus for stealing flock cameras.

              Kevin Sorbo played Hercules in the 90s TV series, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Kevin Sorbo is also a huge christofacist and a downright piece of shit. So he deserves to be thrown under the bus here

    I wonder how long until destruction or removal of these will be considered an act of domestic terrorism…

      I would have directed you to the 4th amendment to the constitution, but those are apparently suggestions instead of rights with the current judicial system.

        Our current government took its cue from Drew Carry.

        Everything’s made up, and the points don’t matter.

        I mean for gods sake! One of our senators has been dead for weeks, and they’re just weekend at mcconnels over here.

    I’m stating it now: This is an insurance scam/propaganda scare by Flock to shore up more money and “excuses” for their cameras 😉

    Take that as you will.
