This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.

It's not vandalism to put a nice opaque piece of cardboard on a solar panel. And no one seems to know how the camera got like that between the time the batteries died and when the technicians found it.
You know, I like to go fishing. I bring my long fishing pole, and some black plastic bags to contain any trash I happen to see along the way. I like to carry the trash bag fed through the eyelet at the top of my fishing pole. Now, if that bag happens to fall over the top of a flock camera while I'm walking past, enveloping it and drawing the drawstring tight around it, there's a fair chance I won't notice.
If course, I dress for chilly weather with a flappy hat to cover my ears, sunglasses to protect from sun glare, and a covid mask, just to be safe. Of course I never bring my mobile phone when I go fishing. I never seem to catch anything anyway.
RIP. THEM. OUT.
the police have no recourse other then braking the law themselves arresting you if you do.
and also those police are braking the law by useing those devices.
people have been taking down the cameras itself.
A law should be passed, where people who blind a Palantir cannot be prosecuted.
I really hope the precedent set by Chatrie v United States will make this shit illegal.
Sounds like Cleveland should file a class action lawsuit.
I imagine a grinder with a cutoff blade would make short work of them? Lol
Keep your face covered.
And walk there.
And leave your phone and anything else that emits any kind of radio signal at home. Headphones, smart watch, bus pass with nfc, stuff like that.
Also keep your clothing plain and generic. They're classifying with stickers and logos too.
People talk about shining lasers into the sensors. Not sure if thats a real thing or a myth.
Well they're illegal right? So we're justified in dismantling them?
Seems like they would be considered abandoned / litter.
I heard some cordless power tools could come handy.
People breaking laws need to loose their freedom. A monetary fine will not be enough.
