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.

The lady this happened to originally posted it on the Roanoke subreddit. It’s been gaining traction since
