The issue is you might take out a few, but you'll still get followed by the other "active" ones.

My state has flocks on every major interstate from one side to the other. I just talked to a cop recently that managed to track a suspect down from NEOH to somewhere in KY where the state police were waiting for him when he crossed state lines.

Unless we completely get rid of all flock cameras, we're screwed.

Realistically you need to get them banned.
