Need to make a device specialized for breaking these things. An industrial vibratory device might work pretty good, especially if it had seeepable speed. Just hit the harmonic and the devices will be destroyed in a jif.

Ugh, it’s so disappointing to see incompetence. Flock could understand that they’re vulnerable to “just cut the pole down” and thus made the cameras easy to remove because that’s cheaper and because it doesn’t result in people cutting down municipal infrastructure, but the reporting fails to consider that possibility. And the people that did this getting their faces caught on the literal cameras they’re taking down is just chef’s kiss stupidity on a platter. I do enjoy the irony of Flock cameras being relegated to the same ‘nuisance litter’ category as those scooters, though :)

My favorite part of the article is a sentence of almost soft encouragement to other privacy-minded vigilantes:

> These units sit on open roadside poles — reachable, visible, and currently without any publicly announced tamper-resistance plan.

Direct action rocks!

"Engaged citizens confiscate and dispose of paraphernalia used by creepy stalkers"

>Pole-mounted Flock cameras lack tamper-resistance, exposing a critical design vulnerability municipalities must address.

How about fuck no they don't.

Don't think they were mate.
