Oh come on. Really guys? We are stealing these high tech pieces of equipment and just tossing them in a body of water to fry them? Such a fucking waste. Those panels and batteries are just itching to be repurposed, or at the very least harvest the copper. No need to pollute.
It won’t work. You might be able to find a junkie who will fall for it once, but they’re not going to tear across the city with a Santa-sack full of cameras.
I would be shocked if it were worth it on anything short of an industrial scale. We’re talking a very small amount of material, and a lot of fiberglass and … I can’t bring myself to say junk, but “delicate components made of basically sand”.
I wonder how accessible the power source is and if anyone would even notice if a custom small additional camera was attached to these stupid things that was programmed to identify cop cars and share to a public tracking map.

The thing about them having a lot of copper is a meme/lie trying to get druggies to tear them down for a chance at a good payout at a scrapyard.
Panels and batteries though, absolutely. Pretty sure some people already are reusing some.

The boards and such can be broken down into precious metals if you’re desperate but yeah generally not worth it for the raw materials.

I’m betting these things are put pretty tough to breakdown / dismantle.
And get caught with them and catch a felony, naw not going to happen.
