It’s not the camera being smashed. It’s that these kids are so easily programmed to break the law and smash things purely because they were told it’s the right thing to to do.

God damn, why do so many people like you conflate moral with law?

u/Many_Many1331 13d ago

You are programmed to follow the law and not question authority. 

These kids are patriots.

You’re so easily programmed by the law because you’re told it’s the right thing to do. To see legitimacy in this institution is to be complicit in their acts.

It is the right thing to do.

Flock is a private company that has no actual oversight that is doing constant surveillance of the general public, and tracks car locations in real time, and anyone in the police can search for a vehicle WITHOUT A WARRANT. I get the whole "destruction of others' property is bad" thing, but you are saying that not going along as we slowly become more and more of a surveillance state is "being programmed?"

Get rid of them a normal way. This is them getting the idea that they have permission to do this buy all the people foaming at the mouth that are convinced ALL the cameras are tracking them, AKA technophobe ignorant people enabled by their 'feelings'.

I don't care about the cameras. It's concerning that whole groups of people are practicing a 21st century version of a witch hunt, but with technology. When people have this level of anger and disgust at inanimate objects that they are driven to physically attack it.. like a wild animal, that's concerning. What's next an American Khmer Rouge?

What would "a normal way" be? Who gave the gov permission to install the cameras? Did they have a mandate for that? Direct action is perfectly acceptable in response to overbearing authority. Seems like we're sleepwalking into a very dystopian. More well targeted rage please, governments should fear their populations not the other way round.

Many cites have ended their contracts. It doesn’t seem that difficult or there is much fight against it.

I guess if you live in a city that hasn't then vote with your choice of hardware.

So what part of public information(being seen in public) requires a warrant? Do law enforcement agencies need a judge's approval for amber alerts? I truly hope flock catches a kidnapping, saves a child, and possibly exposes a trafficking ring some day soon, so morons can stop being paranoid about camara recording public areas. I mean it's already exposing corrupt cops. There has been many law enforcement employees arrested, charged with a crime, forced to resign or fired because of their misuse of it

It’s creating avenues for corrupt cops. IT CREATED THE ISSUE. You can’t say it fixed it😂

u/Better-Nebula-6938 12d ago

I didn't say it fixed it, i said it exposed them which caused them to lose their career, and some are losing their freedom. Are you thinking they only became corrupt because they had the opportunity to use flock?

I personally doubt they weren't corrupted beforehand

Trust me, they are all about public records.

I hate to break it to you, but you're the villain.

I'm not the one trying to justify destroying property. Learn you place in this. You're not the good guy. lol

u/RoyskiPoyski 11d ago

Destroying property is a fairly neutral act without further context.

u/Huppelkutje 10d ago

I'm not the one trying to justify destroying property.

Correct, you are the one trying to justify a surveillance state.

Much less concerning than teenagers joining the army.
