Dress in black so you blend in with the spraypaint covering the camera lens.
The problem is...then what? Are you going to walk from your front door to the flock camera, all in full black clothing and face coverings? You're going to have to walk past any closed-circuit security and Ring doorbell cameras. Police can follow you through multiple cameras and maybe even see you walking through your front door.
Are you going to drive a few blocks from the camera, park, and then walk to it? They can search vehicle position records for any vehicles that came and left within a certain distance from the cameras within a certain time period. If they can trace you walking to your car, they can find you. Even if you left your phone at home and use an old vehicle without spytech in it, there will still be video of your vehicle in the area.
Flock cameras are probably the single most capable cameras police departments have regular access to. But they have access to countless tools of surveillance. I think the only way you could reliably damage a flock camera and get away with it is if a Flock camera is near some nature area or other natural feature. For example, if there's a forest area a short distance from where the camera is, or a stretch of tree-covered river or creek you could duck into to break the camera track.
In order to destroy a flock camera and get away with it, you would need to have access to some large area that is not under surveillance. This allows you to walk into the area while in plain clothes, change into concealed clothing while in the area, and the reverse on the return trip.
Destroying a flock camera while keeping your face covered is trivial. The hard part is getting to the camera and getting back home without leaving a trail to your identity. And unless there's a big nature area nearby you can disappear into, I think that would be a challenge.
Notably, this is actually the technique Luigi used. He ducked into a wooded park to change clothes and escape the surveillance net. With enough resources they were still able to catch him. But someone destroying a flock camera won't justify as much resources to hunt them down as what Luigi did.
It was a joke, I think you skipped over the second half of the sentence.
Hmm. That does appear to be the case! 😂
