If everything is a felony then what’s the point
everything won't be felonies as long as rich people never go to jail for abusing kids with prolific paedophiles.
Felony depends on state.
Most are $1k, so is Florida.
And from this story I've learned that it only costs $800 for a Flock camera.
So in the vast amount of states, if you only break/take the camera, it shouldn't be a felony:

Destroying property is usually about the same limits state by state.
Obviously you want to research specific state/local laws, you know, because knowing is the half the battle.
Indiana is $750.
Inflation go up. Felony limit go down.
Inb4 states and municipalities begging to pay $1000+ each to justify increased charges
Exactly, just burn it all down and go extreme if the punishment for anything is going to be equally extreme
The high score, silly
