Guys. Each flock can cost $3k to replace. Think of the cameras. 😭

Yeah I thought about that. If flock cameras kept getting destroyed then someone will pay to replace it and the person paying for it won't be happy about it

If you see someone taking down a Flock camera, no, you didn't.

I mean, yes, but it also occurs to me that Flock is making bank from this campaign.

In the short term.

If we can drive the cost of replacing them above the 'value they bring' (at least as perceived by local officials) they're not going to want to replace them.

Big bill, with little return. Why keep paying.

This is great news, it actually means that catching someone who did this isn't as easy as I expected. Like, it took them three days to notice that some of the cameras are missing, plus they have not caught them for another three and had to go public with this embarrassment, so they are probably getting desperate.

Haha, get fucked.

Also, it might be a good idea to flood the online tipping form with random-but-plausible tips, like about the size/weight/color of clothes of the assailant, so anyone snitching will get burried. Don't forget to use a vpn, if you can get one as close as possible.

Oh, in this case where they have an online form, I'd say you did see them. Everyone did, in fact, you saw it at on <random day between 29th and 1st>, and they were wearing , were , with a and about !

In fact, everyone should go and fill out the form right now. Don't forget to use a VPN.

I had always assumed they had a GPS chip in them. This makes it sound like that might not be the case. How interesting.
