I recently discovered a company called Flock which apparently is building a massive surveillance network. I came across a reddit post on r/sysadmin where an admin received a request to install a black box device so that law enforcement could access cameras.

I like the last pictures , looks someone ripped one and examined it. I was about to suggest to do that break them at night
I wouldn’t commit a crime. That seems like a very bad idea and could result in a criminal record and prison time.
Fight with our spirit, voice and civil disobedience.
Exactly. Thats exactly the right thing to say on public social media. We are all obedient little pigs here.
Yeah thats worked out great so far eh?
It has
We have made progress
Theyve been popping up all over my area. My city doesn’t have them buy we are surrounded by them on three sides. Its fucking disgusting and terrifying and no one seems to give a shit and just get annoyed that I point them out every time we pass one.
Would love an OSM map that had surveilance camera locations listed. Looked on organic maps, but that’s not an option to place.
I maintain a program called Assassin that has an ALPR camera database as a headlining feature. You install it on a low-power SBC (like a Raspberry Pi) in your car, and it notifies you before passing ALPR cameras (among other threats). I only personally maintain the database in my states, but I like to think it’s fairly comprehensive.
With some technical experience, you can create a pretty elegant system with concealed status LEDs, configurable audio alerts, and more.

The… political views? As in, where they decided to stop defending Nazis?
They are fairly far left. I think freedom and privacy shouldn’t he political. That is why I felt the need to leave a disclaimer as there are some political statements in the page.
Do you mean that you don’t like the way they prefer to defend individuals against corporations rather than the other way around, or the way they don’t help people defend themselves against lawful and reasonable government action?
The ACLU stopped being neutral long ago, if they ever were.
Fuck the ACLU at this point.
FYI, as someone who has only seen good work from the ACLU, If you don’t explain what they did that you consider wrong, I’m gonna assume you’re potentially a mentally ill lunatic, rather than having rational grievances.
I don’t mean any of those things. I just want to point out that I don’t support the political statements. I am not looking to start a fight.
“I am not looking to start a fight”
That works, sometimes.
If you consider the ACLU to be ‘far left’ I don’t think I want you at my kickbacks tbh
Everything is political. Unfortunately. BUT I am for ANY org that is in favor of individual rights and freedoms. Haven’t looked at the ACLU in a while tho tbf
