Imagine all that effort put into catching someone smashing a stupid camera, it could've been used on a pedophile or something.

You've been warned, they're high on the lookout for Flock vandals now.

Meyer faces charges of grand theft, criminal mischief causing at least $1,000 in damage and damaging computer or electronic equipment. His total bond was set at $7,500.

I'm sorry but which is it? Did he destroy a fake camera or did he destroy some real equipment worth money? You can't have it both ways you fucking pigs.
