  • leave your phone at home
  • instead of destroying it, wrap it in duct tape or something like that, because afaik obstructing a camera owned by a private company which happens to be placed on public property is not illegal

A paintball gun is a good option

Or just come up to it outside of it’s FOV and wrap that fucker up

That doesn't help when there are more than one.

I addressed that already - there are three of them within 100ft of each other, and two of them are on the same post.

Here's a pic:

White truck + high viz vest. Take the whole pole from the bottom.

I work in manufacturing and have multiple hardhats and hi-vis vests available to take 😂

I just need a white truck with a bogus govt plate now... Make sure to slap a big ol' Trump sticker on it for maximum stealth. Maybe borrow my sister's work truck... Pretty generic-looking white Dodge.

You don't need a government plate. No one questions a plain white truck. You could use a plate switcher or some retro reflective tape or magnet but like, smoke a cigarette and look unhappy to be working, no one will look twice.

The cameras capture plate data, that's the issue. And along those lines - I don't know how long the retention period is for our particular area. They just started appearing.
