You most definatly shouldent make a cell phone app that you can put in front of the camera that just cycles through random plates and includes copies of conststution. I wonder if you can do 10 per second. 36000 per hour all day long.

I vandalized my own Ring cameras. It didn't feel right to resell them just so they can spy on me from someone else's front porch.
Powerfull hand held lasers can damage cameras, by pointing the laser at the lens.

Is there a common quadcopter on the market capable of carrying a paintball gun or something else that can splatter lenses?
Another, lower tech option that gets the job done.
With a radio control drone you, your face and your smart phone can be a quarter mile away. Plus, have you been in aerial combat? I haven't. Yet.
Good.
Heartwarming.
Good. We need to teach these pigs a lesson
The fun part is that these cameras are not owned, operated or property of your local jurisdiction. They are hardware/software as a service. IANAL, but I think Flock would have to sue you.
I have not personally de-flocked anything, but my local area doesn't have any that aren't tied to a business parking lot.
If some show up, I can't imagine a 5 minute walk with a hat, face mask and a can of spraypaint wouldn't be sufficient to disable one without risk. Might need a stool.

Anyone know of a good form letter / well written petition to request an operator such as an hoa remove a flock camera before resorting tk this?
Lol. HOAs are on a strict boot-based diet. Any well-reasoned argument will just make them install MORE of them.
Also: I really want to introduce the neologism caligavore. Can we all make that a thing?

Would a pellet gun be powerful enough to damage the lens from a distance?
