        Sure, but it makes it a whole lot easier for the next activist to disable that

        We work in teams. Each accoring to their own ability and risk appetite.

        First, someone maps the location of the cameras on OSM. That’s totally legal and extremely important for the whole effort.

        Next, someone spray paints them. Then someone cuts them down and smashes them. Finally, scrappers come to collect the waste.

              I’m seeing a whole lot of people say otherwise with laser strength talk and have handled cameras before so imma trust them over some random claiming otherwise.

                “I’m gonna trust this random that confirms my worldview over another random without asking anyone’s qualifications” 🤡

                You’d have to sit there for literally over a minute at close range just shining the laser directly into the sensor otherwise you’ll just leave spots on it.

                TLDW: You’re unlikely to kill a camera with a laser unless you have a 3W laser, a tripod, and several minutes. It’s not the “flash a laser into the lens to kill it” like people keep making it out to be.

                P.s. I’ve been a live music photographer off and on for fifteen years, I’ve shot around lasers plenty of times. Don’t be surprised when Flock adds a laser filter to their lenses.

                  Fuck of a lot smarter than trusting a random with 0 qualifications mentioned.

                  Not watching shit since you think I’m not discussing using a more than 3w laser. Probably think I meant a red normal one, huh?

                  Having burned out my own camera equipment testing this shit myself I know what I’m talking about buddy.

                    Yeah, you don’t know shit. I provided several sources of security companies and researchers. Blocked. Go back to reddit.

                    Also, you’re a fucking idiot. 3W is extremely powerful. That’s 600x the legal limit, the fact that you’re arguing a 3W laser would be a red laser pointer tells me how fucking daft you are.

        I’m just pragmatic. It works better at scale to fill an old fire extinguisher with black spray paint and pressurize it

          No, and as said that only blocks the camera and nothing else. Every single thread I’ve seen feels like there are people who are actively trying to suggest the worst ways to do something to them. It almost feels like paid actors who are there to lower the level of handicap made to the cameras, it’s that prevalent.
          Again and again it’s someone who says the right thing, actually destroying them or using something to disable more than just one thing and there’s always replies like yours.
          I just don’t understand how people witch such immense ignorance and idiocy show up and reply to every fucking thread.
