Flock said they were only using the cameras for license plates. Cat is out of the bag now.

I don't know, that kinda looks like bird poop to me. Are you sure a bird didn't poop on them?

I think the cameras just ate something that didn't agree with them.

Birds aren't real, they are government drones too. Ever seen a baby pigeon? Cities have millions, they are all the same size.

Never any babies.

How would a Flock camera ID them, its only supposed to be able to read a license plate, right?!

They're assuming someone sprayed them. Without seeing anyone doing it. Maybe this foam just happened.

Maybe it was aliens. Or bigfoot.

Who knows...

ChicoSuave 18 points 4 days ago

It's expanding foam. It only knows growth. It will seek to spread its borders in pursuit of some idealized pseudo-history idealized from stories the foam heard growing up. And Flock has no flags so it's free real estate.

I took apart a Flock camera and I found many ounces of pure gold & other valuable rare-Earth metals

They are literally filled with gold. Every single one is good for at least $30,000 of salvage metal and gold

Gunning down unarmed civilians in the street for the crime of filming with a phone is completely fine, but non-destructive tampering with the police state surveilance systems is where they draw the line

AstralPath 11 points 4 days ago

To be fair, spray foam would be destructive to the lens or lexan/glass cover over the lens. Spray foam is insanely messy. You really don't want it getting anywhere it shouldn't be. In this case, I can't think of a more appropriate target for the foam.

You're right, it must be a cat doing this. I've seen many cats using spray foam to vandalize things recently, and the ones that have been kept in bags are especially bad.

Can a paintball be filled with expanding foam and still work?

Adulated_Aspersion 7 points 4 days ago

Expanding foam like this uses 2 chemicals reacting with oxygen as a catalyst. While definitely possible to create, I would highly advise against this in a DIY application. In my very limited exposure to paintball, I have had some burst paintballs in the hopper and in the gun itself.

Regular paintballs work just fine. Or so I've heard.
