  Lasers tend not to be good for camera sensors, I’ve heard.

    I think you’d need pretty high powered lasers to do sufficient damage. I think a class 3 wouldn’t be enough, or so I’ve heard.

      So what you’re saying is that I have an finally have an excuse a good reason to get a high-powered laser.

  That might actually work, but it’s probably easier and safer to just use a can of spray paint

    Paint seems easier to detect and remove.

      Paint can be seen by passers by. A fried sensor can’t.

      I doubt the lenses are glass, which means the solvents in spray paint will be, effectively, impossible to clean off without damaging the lens in the process. I doubt they have a maintenance team with such finesse as opposed to one that just replaces the device, just every other US support service.

        I’ve suggested paint before, and several people replied that there things have coatings on the lens that resist paint and other chemical attacks.

        It’s almost like flock anticipated that people would be pissed off at them…

        These things are usually pretty high up. The camera in my neighborhood are about 15ft / 4.5m up. When one goes down, they have to queue up for a truck to be sent out.

  What shall we do with an angle grinder (3x) early in the morning?

    Cut it in half and push it over (3x) early in the morning?
