I just love seeing people fighting back against this bullshit.

Flock cameras are typically mounted on 8 to 12 foot poles and powered by a solar panel. The smashed remains of all of the above in La Mesa are the latest examples of a widening anti-Flock backlash. In recent months, people have been smashing and dismantling the surveillance devices, in incidents reported in at least five states, from coast to coast.

Realistically speaking, what's the likelihood that a jury would convict someone of cutting down surveillance camera posts? Feels like most potential jurors would support such actions.

I dont know, I guess it depends on how afraid of Trump they are under current administration.

There should be laws against mass surveillance in the US, isnt there?

Brother, since the PATRIOT Act passed, we’ve had laws for mass surveillance.
