    You should be allowed to shoot at flock cameras with a pellet gun if you’re standing on your property while doing it. If you can hit the lens from there, it was infringing on your privacy on your property.

      In the US you are legally allowed to record anything visible from public property. Meaning the flock cameras could be pointed directly at your house and it’d be legal.

      I mean, they’d suddenly disappear somewhat frequently, but they’d be legal while there.

        You can also claim other peoples property if it’s been left over 48 hours and is in public. Parking was a fucking nightmare and we would have have these contractor dumpsters that had a really bad habit of staying long past their permit length, well I guess I have a dumpster to either scrap or sell. There’s a form and a whole process, but make Flock claim every camera.

          Hell no, the chances of getting fucked over for that are so high. Cut em off, bag em in a faraday bag before transportation, wait at least a day if no longer before opening the bag, then break em down into unidentifiable parts and dispose of what you don’t want.

            Depends but only licensed/registered ones I would guess, another neighbor got cars removed pretty regularly cause he was fixing them to sell but he would park them on the street but without tags

        Especially at night when the camera aperture is wide open.

        It’s honestly not worth it though, as a laser that big could mess up yours or someone else’s eyes.

      Now I want to figure out what’s the maximum possible range a highly customized ‘pellet gun’ could shoot if you really engineer the hell out of increasing the range…
