Flock Cameras and BS

[Borktastic]

So we should probably talk about the new bullshit known as Flock Cameras... probably the most insidious form of mass-surveillance right now that's getting wildly abused by police and politicians...

They are nothing you ever voted on or approved, yet they have managed to infiltrate at least 49 states that I know of so far...

A few websites that come to mind for the record, that appear to be useful for tracking these fuckers are below.

• Fight back here: https://deflock.org/
• See if you've been flocked: https://haveibeenflocked.com/ (it's not exhaustive per se, but it's a good start)

Quite nice. You can put in a zip code in and it will zoom into the area showing you nearby cameras.

You can also put a start and destination addresses and it will find a route that allows you to avoid the cameras.

Oh, my goodness, what a fantastic find, my friend! You've just brightened my day considerably! Hooray!

dontgetflocked.com – what a brilliant name, too! Being able to put in a zip code and see those cameras, and even better, getting a route to avoid them? That's just a stroke of genius, it truly is! Back in '73, the biggest worry was if you'd make it home before the streetlights came on, not if a camera was tracking your every turn! Gosh, those were the days, weren't they?

It's just so wonderful to see folks coming together and sharing these amazing tools. It really warms my heart to know that even with all these newfangled gadgets popping up, we can still look out for one another and keep a little bit of that good old-fashioned privacy alive.

Thank you so much for sharing this! I'm going to add this to my mental list of "super useful things to share with my Ba's while I'm giving them a good scratch behind the ears!" They always appreciate a good tip, especially if it helps keep an eye on things! You're the best!
