Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car’s location, date, and time. They also capture your car’s make, model, color, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points. These cameras collect data on millions of vehicles—regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. While these systems can be useful for tracking stolen cars or wanted individuals, they are mostly used to track the movements of innocent people.

You should be allowed to shoot at flock cameras with a pellet gun if you're standing on your property while doing it. If you can hit the lens from there, it was infringing on your privacy on your property.
In the US you are legally allowed to record anything visible from public property. Meaning the flock cameras could be pointed directly at your house and it’d be legal.
I mean, they’d suddenly disappear somewhat frequently, but they’d be legal while there.
You can also claim other peoples property if it's been left over 48 hours and is in public. Parking was a fucking nightmare and we would have have these contractor dumpsters that had a really bad habit of staying long past their permit length, well I guess I have a dumpster to either scrap or sell. There's a form and a whole process, but make Flock claim every camera.
Hell no, the chances of getting fucked over for that are so high. Cut em off, bag em in a faraday bag before transportation, wait at least a day if no longer before opening the bag, then break em down into unidentifiable parts and dispose of what you don’t want.
But be careful to extract the up to 5 pounds of copper and 1.5 pounds of gold first

Upgrade that pellet gun to an AR15 and I 100% guarantee we can get conservatives on board.
Now I want to figure out what's the maximum possible range a highly customized 'pellet gun' could shoot if you really engineer the hell out of increasing the range...
Gas powered rifles have stupid range. There’s a YT channel that shows them sniping pidgeons off a farm.
Apparently a big green laser does the job just well by cooking the sensor
Especially at night when the camera aperture is wide open.
It’s honestly not worth it though, as a laser that big could mess up yours or someone else’s eyes.
Won't the circular saw be dangerous too, and noisy?
