If I found out my husband destroyed a flock camera I’d fuck him three times harder than I normally do.

[–] qwertyasdf@feddit.uk 35 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What would you do if he destroyed 2?

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 46 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Fuck, I can only get so wet in the morning.... blowjobs for days!

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Husband comes back in the early morning, five slayn cameras on a string worn as a crude, tribal necklace. Oil and sweat in his face.

He grunts. Knowing he did a good night's work.

“Babe, wake up, new erotica just dropped!”

Very much like a Hobbit was unexpected as the finder of the One Ring, Flock cameras were very unexpected as the matter of late stage capitalism erotica. But if it works, it's not stupid.

I'm going to pretend that you're my wife and go buy a laser

Never seen the bottom photo before. It's a sweet set of photos.

[–] Mountainaire@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I wonder if it's generated. Look at the guy's left hand in the bottom right.

[–] Jyek@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes it's ai generated and still only 10 pixels

[–] glitch1985@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

The way God intended!

If you're in the U.S. you've probably seen them in grocery store parking lots. They typically are like a trailer hitch with a bunch of solar panels on it, and then a pole, and a multi-directional camera on the very top of the pole, with a blinking light. I'm colorblind, but I think the light is blue.

They claim to be for the security of the business, but what they do is to monitor all license plates and all cars that come into a given area(and they can identify the same car even if the license plate is changed).

And I wouldn't have so much of a problem with that if individual businesses wanted to have closed-circuit video for their parking lot, but these things are networked nationwide, so this company can track the exact location of your car nationwide, each and every time one of your cars drives by these things.

The operation of these things should be a felony, and it makes sense that people are destroying them now. I completely understand why.

Thank you for the long answer, I appreciate it :)

I thought they started getting destroyed because they implemented facial recognition and agreed to collude with ICE to track down dark-skinned folk.

Edit: While I was fact-checking the brands involved with ICE I did come across another company, owned by Motorola, called Vigilant Solutions. Their specialty - and crime - is also reading and tracking license plates across the country. I hope they get just as much awareness.

Deflock site can show you how many are out there

That's one version of surveillance, but I don't think it's from Flock. That's a different company (though no less worthy of destruction).

Flock cameras look like this:

While they're sometimes seen in parking lots (especially entrances and exits), they're typically installed on the side of the road in seemingly random places.

The trailer hitches are absolutely from Flock. Here's the page on their website advertising them:

That's what those are?!

Police state surveillance tech, used to track people and their locations using facial recognition.

[–] Amdouni@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Even police stations have to pay a scription to use it I think

[–] glitch1985@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

Hell yeah. You think they're going to give data away for free when they could charge for it?

IIRC the Supreme Court has ruled that the police buying information from private companies does not require a warrant, so you have no 4th amendment protections.

Benn Jordan on YouTube has a set of videos detailing everything about them

[–] khepri@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Just remember to never ever buy a high-powered blue or green laser pointer (1 watt+), which sadly are easily available many places online, because were you to do that, and accidentally turn it on while it was pointed at, say, a camera sensor, you could permanently damage that sensor and make it unusable!

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 4 points 1 day ago

There was a study that showed these don't actually work.

But I agree with your sentiment. Definitely do not cut them down or pull on their wiring and take any copper/solar panels that you can resell.
