Hey everyone just a reminder. Happy Halloween but it's a much more important day than Halloween. It's National Deflock day. You know what that means. Get your costumes on! Stay safe. Leave the phones and electronics at home.

If enough citizens revolt and take out a shit load of flock cameras while masked to avoid being identified, at the very least it will cost someone a bunch of money. It could be a catalyst for more action. Some cities have cancelled their contracts, this could lead to more of that if there's enough outrage.
