It talks about Flock branded surveillance in several places, then the news site itself asks for donations with this tagline "Thanks for joining our flock!". Short double-take on that donation area for me.



They call it out in the text:

> Ninety uneventful minutes later, I pulled into Roanoke to go to the Cardinal office and visit my Roanoke members of our own Cardinal team — which, in an unintentional irony in this story, we refer to as The Flock.


Feel free to deflock Flock.

I’ve made it a game to find and report new ones on my longer runs.

There is one near me, in a relatively upscale area, that has repeatedly been taken down and thrown into a culvert. There are currently two old flock cameras still on the pole down there and seemingly unreachable. But it is always quickly replaced.


I'm a fairly active cyclist and do the same thing.

I also map water sources on OSM also, since one day I ran out of water and couldn't find anything local. Figured it would help someone else one day.


Not a bad thought…wish water fountains here were reliable


Nice, none within a hundred miles of me.


our aren't even on there yet so I'm sure it's a lot more than advertised


It's funny, I never noticed mine in the area until I read the deflock.me site. (Maybe it was posted here on HN?)

Regardless, since I like to provide updates to OSM, I have been cataloging them in my area.


The ad widget should have sent a camera perm request to your browser.
