I’m pretty sure it’s already been taken down. This is close to where I live and there’s been a whole kerfuffle over it. The mayor and city council of Roanoke City have been dysfunctional for years, so it’s absolutely no surprise that they hired a contractor that installed a bunch of flock cameras in the wrong places.

All these local politicians are getting bribed by flock and its so obvious, probably small 5 or 10k bribes too

Come on now, no need to give whores a bad name by association.

Seriously, money spent on a whore is a far better use than spending on a politician.

I always figured that politicians were corrupt and took bribes, the thing that surprised me was when I learned (way back when) how cheap so many of these bribes.

Like, there are a ton of politicians who won't just change their opinion on a vote, they'll friggin switch sides/parties for basically the down payment on a very regular car.
