"Maybe the poles just did that"
Real proud of my town tho, after last night our local street committee has removed every flock in town that isn't out front of a police station.

Why would people from Poland cross the ocean just to take down some cameras in the US?
Discontent over how Poland got thrown under the bus after the Second World War?
One falls down. They’ll all fall down. It’ll be anarchy.
Feels like a good time to listen to All Fall Down by Against All Authority.
And then everything else they've done because they're awesome
Hell yeah. Then put on Propagandhi for good measure.
Termites. Could only have been termites. Metal-eating termites.
It's the drought caused by climate change. It causes branches and cameras to fall.
If the Ukrainians can make a drone drop a grenade I'm sure someone can make one that can spray black paint at a lens or solar panel.
It has Bluetooth and other problematic shit. It's not enough just to blind it.
See, this is where homemade EMP technology can really start to advance. Just make sure nobody around has a pacemaker.
An EMP could be thought of as a big powerful radio wave, right? Could someone create something like a radio laser to direct a pulse towards a target?
Point a microwave at it
It won't have bluetooth for long without a working solar panel though
That's true but that's still more than blinding the camera
Makes sense.
Hopefully the people cutting these down are not carrying their phones with them. Bluetooth and WiFi can be used to identify people.
I think that's how that congressional candidate probably got caught :(
That gets the facerec but not the RFID, wifi, etc.
If it covers the solar panel, the batteries run flat.
Sounds like a waste of a free solar panel to me
They flew away, shouldn't have named 'em after birds if you didn't want that to happen 🤷
Context?
Flock cameras :)
Ah. I was imagining a human held camera being pointed down to avoid showing something.
the wind was sharp enough to cut the poles off.
Razor sharp even.
I want the pipe cutter from Cool Hand Luke.
