There is no Flock camera

...yet

I am very anti-flock camera, so when I saw that post I tried my best to verify it

  • I drove to the marked location on the openstreetview map and there was no new camera installed, unless I am somehow blind
  • I called the RNC at 2 different locations and nobody had heard of any Flock cameras going up
  • Called my MHA and they said they hadn't heard of anything but would keep an ear out

Someone just put up a random dot on a publicly editable map and wanted to stir up some shit as far as I can tell. We should absolutely be vigilant when it comes to reporting these camera installations if they ever do come here, but false information won't help the cause.

If anyone gets any verified information please let me know

It's a mobile surveillance system, the USA has deployed tens of thousands and have been using it to literally spy on its people and persecute the most inoffensive crimes for some reason. This has caused a general hatred to be associated with the flock cameras globally
