What is the civil way of installing mass surveillance?

Hi. The mayor of Denver pushed through flock cameras despite them being unpopular and not even getting enough votes to buy them. He got them to change the price enough that he didn't need the votes to get them installed.
How do you have a civil society when the people in power cheat?

#34not sure why people are bothering with destruction, just drive around and shut them down wirelessly.
some newer models require a button to be pressed for them to start the AP, but still leaves them vulnerable to attacks with a long stick and doesn't draw any attention while hundreds of cameras suddenly stop working, making the city government think they're unreliable.

The article suggests that some of the cameras are smashed and left in highly visible places to "send a message".

#36Eventually toll cameras and a consortium of private businesses will have this tech and then game over. Better to use this energy and legislate the behavior you want. Never let the enemy decide the terms.
There seems to be enough energy for both?

Flock already licenses their data to anyone who pays, right?

#38Ben Jordan has some great videos on Flock in general, would highly recommend if your not aware of this beyond knowing they're some form of security camera

9 out if 10 paid astroturfers and bot accounts agree with me!
Trying to imagine who would be paying for bots to support killing flock cameras. Who would profit from that? Seems more likely to go the other way.

The irony is destruction of private property will only justify the very surveillance one is trying to avoid. Would you agree ring cameras should be destroyed too? The police can use their footage. In practice they are similar to flock.
