    None of the charges will stick, but cops are using bullshit arrests and trumped up charges to discourage people from defending their rights.

    It takes less logical leaps to charge the cops with terrorism than it does for any of the three charges.

    Pretty sure a medium strength laser would be enough to damage or destroy the camera sensor in one of these. Could probably snipe it with one from far enough away that being identified would be pretty unlikely.

    It reads to me like an officer in their own time (their own expense?) printed a replica device for a third party, private company. They don’t even work for the company. Let Flock worry about decoys. It’s their hardware. What a chode.

    Imagine if these bootlickers took the same initiative to engage with their community in a positive way.

    The police department in question refuses to release any information about how the decoy operation was devised or carried out and claims there is zero paper trail whatsoever about the operation.

    This definitely sounds legit.

      Way too many people acting like toddlers caught sneaking candy out of a candy jar. Only these are people’s privacy and lives they are stealing.
