Because not enough people are heading out in the dead of night with dark nondescript clothing, a large mask, some small tools, and smashing the ever-loving fuck out of the very unprotected cameras.
Someone around my area has been going out and riding a generic dark colored mountain bike and destroying some of the cameras in the area. Cops sitting to watch them kind of defeats the purpose of them and they're largely left alone, and if they have hidden cameras to watch them, they aren't capturing enough info to lead to an arrest.
I am in no way advocating that people bring a hacksaw and/or cordless sawzall to pull the poles down, crack open the solar panel housing, and cannibalize the battery and solar panel to reuse with mesh radios to help resist illegal occupations and state-led domestic terrorism.
Uh, hey don't add description to the person or bike or anything. These systems already use AI deductive algorithms to identify. Protect at all costs. Or introduce "noise" and help out.
