77 yo guy in Florida sits in front of Flock cameras for hours, holding up a strategically placed protest sign. There are social media claims the man was arrested. But that looks like misinfo. Police talked to him, but journalists found no arrest record, plus,

Police have said that his protest is legal because he is not damaging or tampering with the cameras.

Gunn uses a 12-foot pole from his pool and a broomstick to extend it. He attaches the sign to the end and positions it in front of the camera lens. So anyone accessing footage from that Flock camera will only see the sign “Down with the Flock.” He is careful to choose only Flock camera locations where he won’t obstruct sidewalks, WUSF reported.

A man of the people. And of the pedestrians!

Anyone in or near St Pete should buy this guy free lunches.

From the Verge, Americans are cheering for vigilantes who take down Flock cameras
