NEW: Garrett Langley, the CEO of Flock, told an audience of police chiefs at a private police conference Sunday that anti-Flock protests around the country are not real, according to leaked audio obtained by 404 Media. “It’s anonymous bots, and so it is not real,” he continued.

California’s turn toward social media bans remains a harmful and misguided policy direction. The passage and signing of A.B. 2071 and A.B. 2298 proves there is a better way. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

And you definitely don't want to use a high-powered 532nm green laser, because it can permanently burn and disable digital camera CMOS or CCD sensors. Green light is absorbed at a very high efficiency by these electronic sensors, meaning concentrated beams easily melt or overload the pixel array.
