Problem is that many are clustered and in high-traffic areas. There's a triplet of them in one area near my neighborhood, covering entrance and exit of said area, so it's impossible to avoid detection.
Remove the devices. Like, go up to it and destroy it.
Obviously, wear a mask and common clothing
I bet they'd search for cell location records, in order to find who damaged the cameras. I hear that even turning your phone off won't help. Surely they'll be caught unless someone also leaves their phone at home.
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.
