      They’re usually elevated well out of reach of a person with a spray paint can. We have several notable flock cameras facing public thoroughfares in town. I’d really like to shoot them with paint-balls, though.

      People say this but the obvious problem with this plan is that the cameras are going to record you doing it, and all the cameras between that camera and your house are going to make it clear who you are. The surveillance system is already in place so it’s already protecting itself. I understand that it’s not that tight everywhere, but it’s pretty hard to tell.

      Although the idea of spray painting security cameras seems super punk and badass, they would also just quickly be replaced. Remember these cameras are AI-powered so they undoubtedly can issue some kind of alert if they don’t see anything for too long.

      The most effective way to combat this is the boring and much more tedious painful thing that the Trump supporter in the article did. It has to be a coalition with people from both sides that you make in peace, because this is one of the few things that both the far right and the far left get pissed off by, and you have to keep bothering your politicians about it until they do something about it.

        Not with that attitude :D Where there’s a will there’s a way honestly, but yeah… legal channels and whatnot. For now.
