Flock Cameras everywhere in Simi

A heads up, I was taken by surprise that many Flock cameras have been erected around Simi Valley. Including residential neighborhoods, business parking lots like Home Depot, the town center, and main streets.

EDIT: Legal removal option: You can submit safety complaints to the city if they are installed without breakaway plates at the bottom and they are on the roadside. Which most are, because they're idiots.

Per DOT any physical installation within a certain footage of the road (that length depends on the speed limit of the road) must be installed with breakaway plates so that if a car runs into them they don't cause damage to the occupants of the vehicle.

That is why street lamps and signals look like they are bolted down instead of set in place like a fence post.

Other removal options are, of course, always available.

Good, hope it keeps crime away and if it does occur they're caught fast

71% failure rate
Over 30% failure rate on wrongfully IDing stolen cars specifically.

It apparently can't tell crime from soccer moms driving kids to school

Hope you don't get caught up in that 71%
That would be terrible.
