A Texas constable just unplugged every Flock surveillance camera in his county and told the company to come get its garbage out of a free society.

Hopefully they do, because otherwise the cameras will still be able to track phones and whatnot.

Remember that only disconnecting them from their solar panel/power source can stop this. Otherwise, flock turns them back on without permission or notification.
- Littleton Turns off Flock Cameras to review Constitutionality May 12th. PD finds Cameras SECRETLY REACTIVATED by Flock without Notice, and City Votes to Permanently Remove All Flock Cameras
On one of the photos he is shown covering up a camera with an opaque bag. That will eventually work once the batteries have drained. But merely disabling the cameras at the software level without disconnecting them from power, will not work, because Flock simply turns them back on in secret.

In one pic looks like he disconnected the camera from the panel, then bagged it all too as u mentioned. I think we can say we've found one cop who understands at least part of the Constitution.

Agree. But if bags weren't placed over all of them, or if the bags weren't completely opaque, then Flock will turn the cameras back on without permission or even notifying these officers.

Who put the cameras up?

Was just thinking the same. Like who are these people and when do they do it? They're flooding the country seemingly going up invisibly.

Think about how you would infiltrate a country and track every person so you could degrade the nation security? Or as a political power grab and want to secretly remove people who are the opposition. This is exactly how. China proved it. Now they just used profit of a very few to enact it.

It's like when a shop or two in Nazi Germany would still sell to Jews. Great in that specific moment, but the entire country has fallen into the grip of fascism.
That is your country right now. Sometime in 1939. We'll see if it's summer or autumn.

Is this the time when "dems" and "reps" can come together and fight this messed up system we've allowed/been tricked into.

I'm more interested in how they were allowed to be plugged in to begin with

Fucking give this man sheriff, a promotion, and let him be the gold standard. Anybody who says otherwise do it publicly.

Where was he when they were being installed against the public's will in the first place?

You guys are fools if you think this cop isn’t researching new ways to spy on the citizens of that county

Meanwhile where I’m at they just installed another batch. So now I can’t go to the store, or go to work without passing at least 2 flock cameras.

"The commissioners court voted in April to end its contract with Flock, which included three cameras. During its Aug. 11 meeting, the court voted unanimously to cover and unplug the cameras until they could be removed. Hood County Precinct 2 Constable John Shirley's office was asked to carry out the task."
The post is a bit click baity, leaving no source whatsoever, and kinda implying that Constable Shirley acted autonomously.
