    Isn’t it just as effective to throw mud on the camera? That way if you get caught it’s not really “vandalism” since you’re not really damaging the device. Maybe not a get out of jail free card, but much easier for a lawyer to defend.
    Hypothetically speaking, I would never ever do anything like this myself :)

      The cameras gather more than jusy video. They also scan wifi and bluetooth and can still capture people who walk/drive by with any device that can communicate on wifi or bluetooth

      Mud can be cleaned off, a destroyed camera takes more ressources to replace.

        Yeah but they have to pay someone to go clean off the mud, right? I mean it drains their resources, also will probably not lead to you jail time if you get caught.

        IDK, just thinking of ways an average person can fight back without exposing themselves to prison.

            Exactly. If you’re going down anyway, Make your shot count.

          I say go for it every effort counts, if that level of resist feels good for you, throw mud, or shine a green laser on it, cut the pipe, put a sticker over it, hack into the minecraft, choose your own adventure

          It will still lead to jail time if you’re caught because they will want to make an example out of you. Might as well go for broke. At the very least, use spray paint.
