        there is a fixed amount of monetary value over which destruction of property becomes a felony.

        don’t ask me how i know it was $1500 in 2006 in a jurisdiction in a state i lived in.

            nope. federal and state is a jurisdiction thing mainly. you have to do it to federal property to be a federal felony. If you kill someone you don’t get persecuted in federal court. Most of the us court things are at the state level. the federal government (normally) enforces court procedures so that they are constitutional and such.

        How are you unable to understand the comment you replied to? They said nothing about not cutting down the cameras, they said it’s a bad idea to film it. And no one needs to film it, all that does is collect possible evidence if they get caught.

        There are so many comments in this thread that are so fucking weird, it’s like you’re all kids who have comprehension disabilities.

        Balloon filled with red paint and yeet it on the lense like they owe you money, it would be much more effective and quicker tbh.

          How is this “more effective”?

          Really, painting the camera isn’t enough, it could be cleaned and put back into service the same day. It should be smashed.

              These cameras do much more than just record video (if it’s a flock anyway). They also track every RFID, WiFi, and Bluetooth device afaik

              It’s even more expensive for them to have to put up a whole new one. Why are you people coming up with less effective and destructive ways to handle it? It’s like you secretly want the cameras to be there, it’s extremely weird.
