Documents from law enforcement spy centers show the government is warning cops of "extensive and ongoing chatter on social media" about methods to "physically destroy Flock LPR cameras."

    If you are NOT on a government watch list by now, you should be ashamed of yourself.

      I was going to suggest that maybe a person managed to simply have absolutely zero online presence, but then I realized that having zero online presence probably gets you on a watchlist itself.

        This confusion of what is right and what is wrong happens when oppression is in control.

        It doesn’t matter what you did, it was WRONG.

        We are being oppressed by OUR government.

      Watch lists are so 1937. The whole point of building datacenters for that kind of thing is to not have the separation between people on watch lists and people not on watch lists.

      So nobody should be ashamed by your measure. We live in a wonderful time when, instead of selecting few suspicious individuals to monitor, you can monitor everyone automatically and don’t have that risk.

      It’s like lossless encoding, like FLAC, versus lossy encoding, like MP3. It’s better to have the former if your resources allow it.

      Watch lists have that downside of being a Russian roulette, what if your watch lists give you a wrong impression of the society outside the watch lists? You might think you have it under control, while you don’t.

      With everyone being monitored if you think you have it under control, you really do.

      That just was a bit too expensive, but times they are a-changing.

      That’s really nice, isn’t it?

    The pedo government is monitoring **all **of your Tik-tok and Instagram accounts. Not just Anti-Flockers.

    One of the good things about having the moron for president is that things like this aren’t hidden.

    I can’t help thinking that every other US government (and not just the US) would do this anyway, but would be more Clandestine about it.

          A cordless sawzall of circular saw with a metal cutting blade is way faster.

          I mean, hypothetically. I have a decent amount of experience with cutting pipes.

            Sawzall takes 1.5 min. Circular saw is faster. Angle grinder with a cutting blade is also good.

      This is what they are monitoring for, to try to match people up who might do vandalism on the cameras.

      You gotta say “DEFINITELY NOBODY TIE BLACK GARBAGE BAGS OVER FLOCK CAMERA.”

        Yes, but if we make them monitor everybody, then we can increase the signal to noise ratio so much that they can’t catch anybody.

          I fear this is no longer true. Technology has trivialized the cost to surveil a country’s population. The U.S. will endlessly fund doing so.

          I agree with @ji_reilly@lemmy.ml.

          If it was a human that was reviewing all that footage, maybe but if it’s all automated by AI, especially as AI gets better, there is no noise. Only a camera logging everything you do in a searchable database.
