I miss the days when American conservatives actually seemed to car a little about the idea of libertarian-ism ... even a little.

But no, now when they're in power its a complete abandonment of any libertarian ideals.

I'll take a few local occurrences / defectors from the proposed autocracy as a good-ish sign if only because there are are few.

But how do you fight back not against municipalities - but corporations deploying these?

Sure, you might get your small town to remove them throughout their own land, but Lowes and Home Depot will still set up their own Flock cameras on their own contracts nationwide.

Lowes is responsible for ~8 Flock cameras in and out of my local shopping center.

Does anyone know of any playbook that has had success in getting these shut down? Any way of getting the city’s money back partway through a contract? Seems most cities use the excuse of “well, we already sunk the cost, so we can’t remove them now or it’s just a waste of money”. I see Sarah Hamid with EFF has commented. Maybe I’ll reach out and see if they have a “Project 2025 but for Deflocking Your Town”

Watching the inline video [0] made my blood boil. The officer acts all high and mighty "I'm not going to share the evidence with you because you are lying to me". This is but a small example of the overall incompetence and laziness of the police in this country to say nothing of the ego-tripping.
