minus-squaretornavish@lemmy.cafelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15·2 days agoWell, don’t sell yourself short—one camera per person destroys them all. It’s gotta start somewhere. I’m sure those cameras would probably resell somewhere. Sell them back to flock 🙃
minus-squareBarneyPiccolo@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 hours agoAs I was driving around today, I was thinking how an organized trend to destroy or disable them would make them economically inefficient very quickly. I’m no maniac driver, but I hate having to drive around paranoid that I’m going to get a ticket for going 5 mph too fast.
