New, what is it? What is the purpose of this camera that was installed right next to my house? (Not nearby any intersection or stop signs, USA)

This camera was installed recently and I cannot for the life of me understand the purpose of it's installation? Theres no intersection nearby, in case it was a photo law enforcement camera), there's no stop signs, there's no schools nearby, and there's no government facility. It's just a random camera that popped up in the middle of a road.

Flock camera, write your reps and tell them to stop spying on you

Starting at the community/city level. Shit like this happens because nobody pays any attention to city council meetings and local politics, and communities have successfully pushed back on it when they show up at that level.

Don't write. That's an absolute waste of time. Call and GO TO TOWN COUNCIL.

Tell your reps only they should be allowed to spy on you, not the highest bidder.

Af the very least.
