      After the amount of doom and gloom videos I was watching today all about flock and police surveillance…this is nice. It’s a least a step in the left direction

        I would love to eavesdrop on a meeting where they discuss how many cities/counties are cancelling contracts and how many cameras are mysteriously falling apart.

                    They’re just switching to Axon.

                        lets hope people can recognize axon, or other surveillance cameras.

                          Funnily enough with Axon they seem to surveil less than half as much as they did previously, giving the anti-flock movement an actual sense of accomplishment. If they continue to fight against Axon, the next vendor will be even smaller.

                          But yeah they need to outlaw this anyway or it will keep creeping back.

                              Not discounting the fight against this, but I’m guessing the next move is to make these less known to the public and in places that are harder to remove them.

                              Axon, Axe off

                                  Flock off, mother flockers.

                                  Axon is here to mother your fucks!!!

                                    If municipalities want to put the “Axon” surveillance cameras, I wouldn’t be opposed.

                                    Doesn’t matter what they call them.

                                    People are just going to keep going.

                                    Fuck yeah.

                                    And it’s only going to get worse as more people learn about it. I made a video a few weeks ago about a man in Virgina who (allegedly) cut down 13 of them.
