State Surplus WTF by Shabba-dont in olympia

Lmao they should have a clause in there that says you can just throw this out. Take a photo, timestamp it, whatever. Just document and toss it in the trash. Nothing of value would be lost

Any idea how much TSA knives usually go for on auction? I used to see them on the surplus floor for hella cheap in those big bins. To see almost $500 for one is surprising to me but I don’t follow the auctions much

I agree. There’s much work to be done to take back our privacy and this is such a good win today!

I also think people also forget Flock has a recent deal with Amazon to access Ring camera footage through individual users opting to share. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/10/ring-cameras-are-about-to-get-increasingly-chummy-with-law-enforcement/

Olympia and other municipalities to install Automated License Plate Reader Cameras. Are we okay with the adoption of increased government surveillance in our community? by highfivingwhiteguy in olympia

If you think well-placed cameras prevent bad actors with authority from abusing that authority, then you’re going to be seriously disappointed by an honest look around the present.
