I drove past one with a literal American flag planted on it today so maybe we are taking back the Homeland alas?

It was a beautiful thing.

The state ordered the cameras removed but they left the posts, someone stuck a flag inside the old post.

So it still scans Bluetooth as explained in other comments here. Someone needs to build an easy to install faraday cage around it, something universal that can be easily installed on cameras that have been ordered to be removed.

It was actually removed though. But they left the pole up and someone saw an opportunity to place the flag.

Apologies. I'm mixing up this story with another story where I read the court ordered Flock to disassemble the cameras, and they left it in place for quite a long time so the state put a bag over it, but it was still collecting data via Bluetooth.
