Be aware that if your city cancels its contract with flock, that doesn’t mean the cameras cease operating. It just means that your city cops probably don’t have direct access to the data. As long as they are physically installed, the cameras are still tracking you and violating your rights.

I'm not always proud of Americans, but there clearly are still some heroes out there. Like the king of all Florida men:
One man in Florida sits in a lawn chair holding up a piece of cardboard on a pole to block the camera’s view.
Based doesn't even begin to describe that man
I was wondering if the city would allow me to express my patriotism by flying the biggest flag I can find directly in front of every one of these cameras.
