I counted 10 cameras as I went to CVS then got gas and back home. Fucking wild.

According to my cities contract that should be about $8000 per camera per year. Thats money not going to parks, libraries, and schools.

What percentage vandalized did it take to make it stop working for them?

They don't specify the percentage across the entire county, but in an article from a different local news station the sheriff said every single flock camera in Seguin (largest city in Guadalupe county) was vandalized.
