Please let me know if this should be posted somewhere else, and remove it if it does not go here.

Sometimes a camera just needs a sock.

The Flock Sock is a slip on cover designed to help protect a Flock camera from the harmful radiation of the sun. Your city spent their very own hard earned tax dollars scattering these cameras everywhere to keep you safe, all it cost you was a little privacy. The very least you can do is help protect these valuable civil servants from getting a bad sunburn.

TIL that Lemmy titles let me use Markdown formatting. Forgot I was typing in the title, till I saw the italics on my post show up.

I might just have to break out my 3D printer again. I need to get a very long broom, though. I've seen one in my area up near the top of a street light. Shame it won't block the wireless features, like Bluetooth scanning.

Wrapping it in tinfoil would probably degrade the signal strength enough

I had the idea the we need to employ the people who have come up with really convincing credit card skimmers to make flock and axon camera covers

Can't scan BT if I don't have it on. Though I bet my car emits a signal even if I don't use it, which is a bummer.
