This is one type of example of a flock camera system.

It surveils us and is used by fascists to control us.

Let’s not let them stand.

I guess silly string could also work as a less illegal and more temporary solution.

      The osm data that site uses definitely isn’t complete, there are lots of flock cameras not shown. Fortunately osm is the wikipedia of maps, and anyone can contribute data…

    You definitely have better ideas than me. My idea was just using black spray paint to cover the camera part.

      Tricky bit is getting the can close to the lenses way up there

      Paintball gun might work but (a) I suck at shooting (b) cops notice gun-loking things

        Its why I was thinking of silly string. Tho, some are higher up on traffic light poles.

        Maybe paintballs plus a slingshot would be easier to hide in a hoodie?

          Paintball paint is thin and fairly translucent, and also water soluble. It’s unlikely to foul the camera appreciably, and even then only until it rains.

          If you’re going to slingshot at it anyway and are laboring under the assumption that you can hit the lens, you may as well just hurl a 3/8" steel ball or a rock through it.

          As your attorney I advise you that this is purely a thought experiment, naturally.

          paintballs plus a slingshot

          definitely better idea than paintball gun

          I probably don’t have the requisite marksmanship. But there is only one way to find out for sure…

    Is there a community somewhere discussing technological countermeasures? Ie, hacking these systems, fuzzing them, etc

    Such community would be ideally be somewhere secure, like Dread
