Wild Footage Shows Man Blocking Flock Camera With Comically Gigantic Protest Sign
"We didn't give them permission to do it on us." The post Wild Footage Shows Man Blocking Flock Camera With Comically Gigantic Protest Sign appeared first on Futurism .
A 77-year-old Florida man named Carl Gunn sparked controversy by blocking a Flock Safety camera in his neighborhood. Gunn's unorthodox method involved using a 12-foot pool skimmer as a protest sign, holding it in one hand while an umbrella occupied the other, in a comical yet impactful display. The protestor justified his actions, stating, "The Flock company, they're doing this for profit.
They don't own the air. We didn't give them permission to do it on us. If they want to do it for profit, I want my paycheck." Gunn has organized at least two protests at different Flock cameras. When confronted by two St Petersburg squad cars during one protest, Tyler Knight, a local passerby, shouted, "F**k the Flock cameras, and f**k you for not looking out for us" before driving away.
Despite claims of his arrest, no record of Carl Gunn appears in the Pinellas County Clerk of the Circuit Court's case record database. The story highlights the ongoing debate around Flock Safety's controversial technology, with police often defending the company due to their access to the Flock network, which spans nearly 100,000 cameras across the country.
