That's 77-year-old St. Pete resident Carl Gunn.

He is tired of the expansion of the surveillance state.

As far as the people are concerned, this man is a hero.

The pool skimmer in place of a sign is genius!

Oh, and this is a weekly protest, by the way.

Here's Fox 13:

Every Saturday, 77-year-old Carl Gunn sets up beneath a different camera with a homemade sign attached to a nearly 10-foot pool skimmer. He wants to peacefully draw attention to unanswered privacy concerns surrounding the technology rather than vandalize property.

'I said, "what can I do to voice my opinion?"' Gunn said. 'They're destroying property. I don't want to do that.'

Here's an interview with Gunn from Spectrum News:

Mr. Gunn's sign says "Down with Flock Cameras."

A simple message he hopes people can get behind.

Carl doesn't want this to be a one-man protest.

Gunn plans to continue his weekly demonstrations and will protest this Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the intersection of Third Street South and Sixth Avenue South in St. Petersburg. He welcomes anyone who shares his concerns to join him.
