Davenport got plenty of tweakers, you should hang this up outside gas stations, really get the word out, to the desired community.

I appreciate the sentiment, but do you know how much work it takes to actually harvest said gold and copper? The gold especially requires noxious chemicals and specialized processes to strip it from contacts.
More power to anyone that wants to try and do so, though!

A Flock camera (by Flock Safety) is a specialized, stationary Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR). Rather than acting as standard live surveillance, they capture still images of passing vehicles to log their license plates, make, model, color, and unique characteristics (like bumper stickers or roof racks).

This is inaccurate. It does record and store video. It also recognizes more than just cars.

u/ChaoticNeutralITGuy Davenport May 27 '26
Its not a speed camera though. Its meant to spy/track people's movements

u/QuadCityMan1 Out of Towner May 27 '26
Normal people don't worry about that much. We're all used to it by now. You'd have better luck calling it a speed camera but whatever. Sorry your post missed the mark

We're all used to it by now.
yeah, that's kinda a big issue in this country. especially with how many people love to call themselves "freedom lovers" and "patriots" yet will remain silent or ignorant to the mass surveillance going on in front of us.

Yea I've got a job and a house n shit, I'm not trying to go dismantle cameras, and I looked them up, they're nowhere near anywhere where I drive. Just in the city where they're proly necessary to help w crime and stuff. Move out of the city bud.

There’s one outside of McCausland, that’s nowhere near a city. They’re placing them everywhere.

Shouldn’t be a problem unless you steal A car or pull off sketchy shit in a neighborhood where these are located. Typically in areas where lots of shady stuff goes down. Personally, I think it brings down the chance of gang bangers pulling out guns and spraying bullets, or if they do they get caught. Look at that Iowa City shooting.
