Yet another reason to move to the boonies where the only garbage truck is your own beater every couple weeks.

And you accidentally turn a whipped cream container into a steam rocket.

    Good news, the flock camera on every corner will be tracking you and looking for any violations with your truck.

    And by good, I mean bad.

    Lol. Lmao even.

    A flock camera in a rural area will end up like a stop sign in a rural area. Full of bulletholes.

    I thought so too. I live in the rural southeast. Those things are at every major intersection and about half of the rest of them.

    Maybe the people that don’t mind shooting stuff will learn what they are and take them out. So far the only people I’ve heard about doing that are some kids from one of the local colleges getting arrested for it. Don’t know what happened after that tbh. But most country people are total bootlickers for the cops, as long as they keep the browns out

    It's not rural until your town contracts a county sheriff for a handful of hours a week and otherwise has no police force! Literally not enough funding for a flock deal around these parts lol. If all these intersections ur talking about have paved roads, lights, and bullet hole free signs we may have different definitions of rural!

    Yeah that’s fair, I’m talking southeast rural. I have spent some time in Alaska, and that’s something else, that’s for sure.

    I assure you our stop signs are appropriately peppered by buckshot, but you can’t go ten miles without going by a flock camera. But relatively, nothing’s that far apart down here, and you can’t go too far without crossing a state highway.

    But our good ol’ boys are far more interested in harassing minorities than disrupting government surveillance.
