Tennessee congressional candidate Adam Heimerman was arrested for shooting four Flock Safety ALPR cameras, facing felony vandalism charges in the same district debating the tech.
This is a terrible, myopic way to decide who becomes your representative, and I’m honestly sad Lemmy is even upvoting this.
You need a points system, otherwise everyone’s going to min–max on the low-hanging fruit. “The most” is too basic a metric, but of course as always, Lemmy doesn’t understand the practical realities of politics.
Don’t want people to completely ignore the easy ones though. Maybe eligibility for the high-value target bonus is unlocked by taking down a certain number of the common (low-hanging fruit) devices. Track everyone’s stats, work out the daily average, make that the cut-off so anyone below that number gets a reduced award instead of handing it to cherry-pickers. Some kind of MMORPG-inspired mechanic like that.
I’ll vote for the candidate who shoots down the most Flock devices (cameras, drones,
executiveset cetera).This is a terrible, myopic way to decide who becomes your representative, and I’m honestly sad Lemmy is even upvoting this.

Yeah, the ones on private property like mall parking lots are worth the most by far.
The executives? I dunno, I feel like they’d be worth more if done on a public sidewalk. For tradition’s sake.
Or like, dropped from a plane with no parachute.
The bottom of the sea was a good one too.
Total height of cameras removed
so like the ones atop skyscrapers are worth more? i like it.
I figure it scales with effort.
i reckon so. seems like a plan to me.

Every flock camera is 1 point, every firebombed data center or Tesla manufacturer is 5. Winner gets my vote!
I think a firebombed data centre is worth at least 20 points
It’s logarithmic, 20 points for crashing a SpaceX rocket into a data center.
