Regretful cities aren't sure how to cancel their surveillance contracts, so they are literally covering their cameras.

News to me. I wonder when, if ever, I will see this in real life.

You don't have any trash bags?

One can also purchase aerosol can extension poles for use with spray paint.

I've never seen anyone covering Flock cameras nor have I ever seen an average person break a minor law without severe live-ruining repercussions. I have only ever heard of rich people breaking major laws without repercussions.

You don't hear about it because they haven't been caught. Then again, we're talking about covering up a camera... 🤔

Wear a mask and clothing you have never been seen in before that you can dispose of afterward. Maybe use stilts so they'll be looking for a really tall fucker.

No, I mean I have never seen a flock camera with a bag over it.
