“They didn't understand it was satire in the beginning until the end,” Casa Grande, Arizona resident Jacob Petrosky told 404 Media. “They were not happy, they were very upset.”
Conservative ideology and radicalization generally also tends to be built out of a persecution complex, so I’m not sure if that will have the intended result.
Whether it’d be just and appropriate or not though, is another story

They already believe, and behave, as if they’re being persecuted, even when they’re not. We’re already seeing the results of their mental illness. Might as well actually help the rest of society by making them see what it actually looks like.
Except these cameras are likely excluded from areas that lawmakers exist in. It would be dystopian to expect elected officials to live under surveillance Of their every move! /s
I live a couple blocks from my state governor and there are plenty of Flock cams here. I’m sure the private gated suburbs might not have them inside, but they will be on the roads connecting between them, so FOIA is actually a great idea.
Surely they have their own cameras on the inside, Ring doorbell cams etc.
The article mentioned that citizens can opt their privately-owned cameras into the system. Now I’m curious - in places with that kind of system what is the rate of opt-ins among those with power vs. the general population.
Maybe we should do it. A lot of conservative types have shit empathy and only really understand things when it’s happening to them.
This is objectively true:
Ideological values are parametrically associated with empathy neural response to vicarious suffering 2023, PubMed
Maybe we should stop trying to convince them and start showing them.

We don’t even need to build our own system. Flock data is owned by the government, and thus available for the public to request via FOIA
We own the data, let’s get requests for it

Actually, many HOAs have been installing Flock cameras because that shit is right up the alley of something an HOA president would want.

Where I live there is a bridge that is the only way out of the city on the North and East. I can guarantee elected officials are using it too
It has a Flock camera on either side. Also the main road along the river has 3 cameras covering a 360 degree view
The cameras here are set to maximize the number of people tracked
Aren’t those things solar powered? Just move them.
Flock data is owned by the government? That’s kinda crazy. I assumed they just paid for access. Something doesn’t sound right.
Yeah this data is owned by Flock which is why they’ve been selling it to organizations like ICE.
Also a lot of conservatives- especially conservative politicians- maybe need the ah, “oversight”.
