The cameras that catch drivers who speed or ignore red lights don't just snap you when you're breaking the law. They can shoot you hundreds of times a month.

      Damn there are a couple in my tiny rural town, they appear to be high up though.

      Anyone have tips or ideas about how to disable or destroy them?

    The city I work in installed Flock cameras. City Council was clear they were only to be used to flag license plates for active felony warrants, silver alerts, and Amber alerts.

    In less than 48 hours they were using them to give out tickets and track people who had turned in Open Records requests regarding the police department.
