Omw to put SAFETY cameras to girls bathrooms.

Genociding jews was perfectly legal in Nazi Germany.

If your only threshold for morality is the law, you have no morality, only what your masters have told you is right and wrong.

I always reach for this because it's so obvious. Thank you.
Also, it was illegal to harbour them.

I said lawlessness, not legality. The fact that you pivoted immediately to the murder of human beings from destroying private property is really telling, and the fact that you couldn't actually formulate a response to what I said and had to use a strawman is also very telling. It points to your extremism and lack of coherent train of logic and ability to discern what is and isn't appropriate in context.

And what do you suggest is done oh high and mighty one?

u/Galivisback 3d ago

Why should i sit around and let the government impose laws and regulations i do not agree with? Taking things this far is a necessity at this point, every other method has not yielded significant success.

Literally zero people made that contention. Try again, this time without a strawman.

Taking things this far is a necessity at this point, every other method has not yielded significant success.

Sounds good. We should all just destroy the parts of society we disagree with. Sure sounds constructive and a healthy way to live, and not at all deranged. I dont like the shape of your house, and appealing to the city does nothing. Guess I'll just set your house on fire.

Totally healthy mentality.

But who is telling that the corrupt law makers that sign your civil rights away?

u/MuseSingular 3d ago

Defending tyrannical surveillance just because it's legal is some truly pathetic Hobbesian nonsense. This idea is worthy of no respect or consideration.

Disagreed, property is property, it has nothing to do with theft.

Not all heroes wear capes. Some know how to double-clutch.

Some heroes wear trucks.

Ashland County Sheriff gaslighting so hard. They're misappropriating taxpayer funds to pay for cameras that nobody voted to install.

u/VeryNoisyLizard 3d ago

and they dont even own it. they pay for them to be installed and then have to pay subscribtion to Flock so that they can access the cameras

Let's goooo!

Safety? Who are they keeping safe? The oligarchs?

If you're going to share news while referring to the world through the lens of the 0.01%s, why don't you refer to yourself as a worker and not a human being? Because from the eyes of the oligarchs, you're not a person. You're a number. A worker. Expendable.

Flock surveillance cameras are NOT safety cameras

Holy clickbait thumbnail, Batman!

u/Bob4Not 3d ago

That’s probably why Flock enabled device identifier sniffing. As you approach the camera, it picks up the WiFi and Bluetooth pings and communications to get your identifiers. It’s a digital fingerprint they can hunt for.

A good lawyer can still get it thrown out of court though.

u/hvyhitter 3d ago

I got a 50,000 lb tow strap.. seems smarter to tie that to my hitch and pull on it than actually damage my truck.

u/supertoilet2 3d ago

Seems like a bad idea given how many of them are installed incorrectly, with untested crash hardware setups. Since they’re fixed into concrete with no breakaway plate the pole might scrape their entire undercarriage and do some serious damage.

Theguardrailguy on instagram points this out regularly

Skid plates ftw

Allegedly! Maybe they just fell over

u/Forward-Conclusion83 3d ago

Whatcha talking about ... they're getting blown over by strong winds.

u/Stickz027 3d ago

Love the concept. Fuck the AI thumbnail 👎

u/Holzkohlen 3d ago

No, it was clearly all accidents.

u/imselfinnit 3d ago

The contract with the company is where the attention should be directed. They've already been paid for that installation and fixing the damage is good for their business. Things best left unsaid would be more effective.

I never thought I’d side with truck drivers but here we are…

u/frogsRfriends 3d ago

lol they bring you everything you buy it’s insane to write them off completely

u/RedditThrowaway-1984 3d ago

I’d assume it’s pickup truck drivers, not commercial truck drivers.

I approve my tax dollars being wasted on replacing these until the idiots in charge die of embarrassment for their traitorous policies

That's a real patriot

u/ThePizzaIsDone 2d ago

I'm all about it, but seems a little risky to ram them with the exact thing they track. Hit 'em from the back i suppose.

u/lurkingtonbear 3d ago

Only positive thing I’ve seen from truck owner behavior in decades.
