The proverbial two-edgedsword, much like the now questionable ‘dna evidence’, many judges/juries are failing to convict on wha tshould be five minute open-and-shut cases if there’s no ‘video evidence’ or the angle is wrong, or too blurry, or too sharp so it’s ‘obviously AI’, etc. Jurors should have to pass an IQ and basic awareness test, same as voters.
The little scanner gadgets are worse than the cameras. They pick up and make note of the date time and location of your phone, tablet, laptop, smart watch, etc. And with all of the current phone home capabilities of your vehicle they don’t need to read your license tag. One of these at each intersection totally tracks travel history, even pedestrians. If they want you they’ll know exactly where to find you. Flock cameras are just one tip of the proverbial surveillance state iceberg. Then there’s the smart TV, refrigerator, washer, thermostat, doorbell, dog’s collar…
Had me wondering why the hell she wanted to know if her parts person had eaten, as that Southern bastardization of “Did you eat” was the only one I knew. Was.
Made the connection by the doctor and c-store quip, then asked Google.
Did you know that asking brings up a page full of my first meaning, and all the way at the bottom of the page says it’s derogatory for South injuns. They do not like us using their people’s heritage in shorthand.
I immediately harked back to last week’s “official” “discovery” by some Washington commission or other than Ilhan Omar had married her brother.

I appreciate that a lot of civilian marksmanship practice is a stationary shooter leading a moving target, but if it takes 381 shots to destroy one flock camera, maybe we need a new roadside caution sign indicating: “Flock camera ahead, slow down to make accurate hits on the target.”

This made me chuckle.
All 381. Perfect.
Saw a flock camera face down in a heap next to the guardrail today, guess someone had enough 🙂
The enlightened elite call us savages, while making deals with barbarians.
They fail to consider the actual meaning of the old saying,
If they’re going to give you the name, you might as well have the game.

Market forces. I like that. Well done, Jo.

Jo’s imitating Sophie Cunningham!

Not coincidentally also equipped with ChiCom spy chips.
Does this mean that there are 381 less flock cameras??
“Jeet”.

Now I know. Thanks Chris.
Could be short for id jeet
“Sorry, I can’t tow you in, waiting for a part for my truck!”
What is with the F#&%ing Republicans, that
they cant see the forest cause the trees are
in the way.
I am very disgusted with the outcome of the
raising of the children of today.
Every restaurant I go into complains about
not be able to get help, and the medical
institutions are just as bad. Dont get sick.
When I was a kid, go out after school, come
back at dinnertime. Now its a crime if you
let ur kid run free.
They dont teach civics in school anymore,
WTF- Lincoln said “schoolrooms today are
Government of tomorrow”. Not good.
Thank You Choir, for maybe reading my Vent.
WTF does this have 2 do with Republicans?

🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
Or maybe it only takes one shot to down a Flock camera, and 380 shots “just for good measure”
Other option is to nuke ’em from orbit….just to be sure….
