There's one across the street that captures my home. I fantasize about taking it out in a number of creatively destructive methods.
Green laser?
You don't need to destroy it. A black trash bag over the camera and/or solar panel and wrapped with tape will be sufficient.
No, because it still collects data from every wireless device in range.
Not when it doesn't have power.
Maybe not here, but post the location to a group of antiflockers, suggest it's pointing at a home and shouldn't be, suggest maybe it should be removed.
You can stay pretty anonymous.
There are those of us who wouldn't mind just quietly popping by a week later and taking care of that for ya.
If any are close by it certainly might get done.
There is a group in my town who is starting an open letter/petition to the city council to have them removed. I feel like that's the safer and more lasting way to get them down here. The one pointing towards my home is right next to a school and any kind of tampering would be readily seen and fixed
