Flock said they were only using the cameras for license plates. Cat is out of the bag now.

I don't know, that kinda looks like bird poop to me. Are you sure a bird didn't poop on them?

Find the person training birds to poop in flock cameras.

I think the cameras just ate something that didn't agree with them.

Birds aren't real, they are government drones too. Ever seen a baby pigeon? Cities have millions, they are all the same size.

Never any babies.

They're assuming someone sprayed them. Without seeing anyone doing it. Maybe this foam just happened.

Maybe it was aliens. Or bigfoot.

Who knows...

It's expanding foam. It only knows growth. It will seek to spread its borders in pursuit of some idealized pseudo-history idealized from stories the foam heard growing up. And Flock has no flags so it's free real estate.

Actually I am sure. It is definitely bird poop. No case here we can move on

I took apart a Flock camera and I found many ounces of pure gold & other valuable rare-Earth metals

They are literally filled with gold. Every single one is good for at least $30,000 of salvage metal and gold

Gunning down unarmed civilians in the street for the crime of filming with a phone is completely fine, but non-destructive tampering with the police state surveilance systems is where they draw the line

You're right, it must be a cat doing this. I've seen many cats using spray foam to vandalize things recently, and the ones that have been kept in bags are especially bad.

I their system can't even catch this, it seems a bit useless.

As the city, I'd claim a refund

Nah those a clearly wasp nests. Bet it's an endangered species too. Better leave them up there.

Expanding foam like this uses 2 chemicals reacting with oxygen as a catalyst. While definitely possible to create, I would highly advise against this in a DIY application. In my very limited exposure to paintball, I have had some burst paintballs in the hopper and in the gun itself.

The city officials who would do this already got their own "refund" so......

To be fair, spray foam would be destructive to the lens or lexan/glass cover over the lens. Spray foam is insanely messy. You really don't want it getting anywhere it shouldn't be. In this case, I can't think of a more appropriate target for the foam.

Regular paintballs work just fine. Or so I've heard.

Ah damn, I knew I had missed the market for expansionist foam.
