A handful of enterprising activists could bl…

If someone did this in my town, I’d want them arrested. They’re muddying the moral clarity of the anti-Flock messaging, the ultimate goal in any protest.

> I haste Flock Safety cameras. Was this a typo? If not, what does "haste" mean in this context? (I'm not messing with you; I'm genuinely wondering.)
