"iN sUM cOunTries" And in this country border agents pepper spray citizens and black bag elementary school teachers terrorizing your own children. What is this the shitty authoritarian olympics? I thought this was the land of the free and all I see is bootlickers.

People are probably unaware of the telemetry on their vehicle. But this is a good point, people get upset when government is perceived to screw them over and not upset enough when the private sector does it. In practice, the private sector screws over the public quite a bit.
If millions of people are being tracked by GM and haven’t noticed, how is it a problem?

There is a lawfully way to do the thing. The problem is that the lawfully way wants a very small set of people with specific skills. Canada does the same, most of their immigration are university graduates. The only reason Canada hasn't had an influx of immigration like the USA is because their southern border is the USA, not Mexico. Most of the immigration to the USA is driven for economic reasons, not political asy…
> There is no right to immigrate in the USA just because you want to, you have to convince the government somehow to let you in. Agreed. But it is only human to want to improve your living conditions. Illegal immigrants are not claiming their migration was lawful, no one is, so the argument about their right to migrate is meaningless. The law requires them to convince the government to let them in, but a law you cann…
Looks like now they are enforcing it hard.
> punishing them does not
Justice should be blind and punish all criminals equally, stop romanticizing poverty and crime. If you commit a crime, go to jail, and if you are a non citizen, get deported. Victims of society mentality only creates more victims, as the victims of the crime are ignored.
> Have you read about migration to euorope
Yes, and people die trying to get to the USA anyway, that doesn’t mean the government shouldn’t enforce borders. African immigration is a worse situation as there are several civil wars ongoing, and its poorer than South America. European countries should also enforce borders.
For your last point, I mentioned latest surge, which is mostly from Venezuela, but I agree, they should enforce i9 registration for all employment and deal out harsh punishment.

Which is better than Flock's "Transparency" Report. I live in WA, ex-Flock employee, and in my County, half of the agencies with Flock agreements are not on their Transparency portal. And at the very least - why can't you search the Transparency Portal? You have to try each and every agency name. Let's try https://transparency.flocksafety.com/ ...

Not only this does good to society in the obvious way, but also creates jobs as someone needs to clean those. Kudos to the guy, who single-handedly doing what almost all politicians miserably fail at.
Is it good for society to disable traffic cameras? Here in Sweden, traffic camera is used exclusively to reduce traffic speed on roads where the maximum speed is too fast for installing traffic bumps, with an expected effect of reducing traffic speed by around 20-30%. They are generally only installed on 60-90km/h roads, around road maintenance/construction sites, and in tunnels. They active when the radar detects sp…

They seem to be going up rapidly at the moment. I live in a county where the county seat is I went to add them to Deflock, but their process requires an OSM account. I wasn’t able to do that on the side of the road, and haven’t gotten back to it yet.
If you find yourself with some time, there is now a DeFlock app that helps with mapping. It also includes locations where people suspect there might be a camera, though that is limited to about a third of the states so far.

Nope. It's coded in our laws. It is a legal term.
Ask JD Vance, who repeatedly said that people legally in this country are illegal immigrants - and those screaming the loudest about illegal immigration walk stridently behind his banner.
Illegal alien is a legal term and conflating legal and illegal immigration is disingenuous to the conversation.

Honestly, feels like the company is within their right to press charges here? Dude is disabling the equipment that they use to turn revenue, no? Don't agree with the company, but I don't find a suit here ridiculous. If my job put up cameras, and my form of protest was to deface and disable them, I'd get fired. This isn't a job, it's government, but it's similar in my head. The people with the authority to do somethin…
I don't think this counts as property damage or vandalism because nothing is damaged or vandalized. Part of putting shit in public is that it now has to interact with the public. If you want your stuff pristine, I would think you should not put it in public. Maybe the law disagrees with me here, and it probably does because this country bends over backwards for companies, but that's how I see it.
Isn't this a form of graffiti?

On some vehicles it’s easier than others. Unfortunately it’s a great idea to research before making a purchase decision.
Is local jamming or removing their antennas a viable strategy? Seems like it could be easier to just make them unable to phone home, rather than trying to surgically rip out the bundle of hardware and software responsible for it while leaving everything else intact.

I feel these camera's is a symptom of how anxious the US overclass is.
I feel worrying about security cameras is primordial mammal fear of being tracked and eaten. Like fear of vaccine poisoning, a vestige of long ago threats.
The reality is these guys are scared of us. And that's behind inane airport security, militarization of police, the ICE raids.
Years and years ago read a heretic economist that comment that highly unequal societies spend huge amount of money on security. Enough it has negative effects on their economy. This is really not a good thing for the rest of us.
