Have a good one for everyone to ponder..

Thinking of starting a national campaign to "Bag Flock Safety" cameras. Been following this private corp mass surveillance trend for a while. Not only are they cloud storing all the captured data, but anyone with a cell phone can log into these units on site and download the last week of captures. So this new security tool, is actually a huge data gathering scheme with no over-site or even decently secured hardware. It's been hacked, reversed, disassembled, and fully mapped. Some shady shit..

I see cases are popping up now where people are ripping them down by the dozens. And that has some legal issue, destroying private property. While I'll happily explain how everyone could save time by just hitting each ya see with high power pin laser to burn out the cameras... I'm think a simpler less risky solution is just trash bag or sticker every unit ya see. No damage, just puts out of service.

Personally I'm going bigger on this one and perusing it in the OH courts at class level. But setting here in a parking lot, look at one of their cameras on a pole, what's gonna happen if I just go stick a wal-mart bag over it?? They gonna need pay someone to come remove it. I can dig this game..

I went to Walmart to pick up a prepaid debit card the other day. I use those when I’m making purchases from questionable places.

Not sure how your bank is, but I set up a free ($5 min balance or you get charged) checking account with my bank. Then I just use the app to transfer from my main account to make purchases in seeding places. No paying to load prepaid cards.

Ben was first one that alerted me also. The IT engineer side of me would like to molest one in a SCIF room for a few hours also. And then hang it back in the wild just to see if they even notice the breach. From my latest readings, it's the lack of security, hardware and on servers that's getting them booted from Cali cities. When any municipality says your network security sucks, ya know it's pretty bad. Sure all of our foreign adversaries love it..

I've started spotting them appearing closer and closer to home. First on the major bridges coming into Ohio. And of this week, two new ones on the County line just north of me. Not yet tagged on this map. My county remains dark, and plan is to keep it that way. Cause I'm the guy who first brought the internet to everyone within this map.. Stay out of my yard...

I had never seen a flock camera before, but according to that map, the meijers we go to has them all thru their parking lot. Its those blue lighted trailer things that look like the "rape" lights out at MSU. Considering the number of lowlifes and bums that panhandle in that parking lot against meijer rules, I can understand why meijers put them up.
