I recently discovered a company called Flock which apparently is building a massive surveillance network. I came across a reddit post on r/sysadmin where an admin received a request to install a black box device so that law enforcement could access cameras.

Theyve been popping up all over my area. My city doesn’t have them buy we are surrounded by them on three sides. Its fucking disgusting and terrifying and no one seems to give a shit and just get annoyed that I point them out every time we pass one.
What do they look like?

Would love an OSM map that had surveilance camera locations listed. Looked on organic maps, but that’s not an option to place.
