Destroying them is great and all, but what about throwing a garbage bag over it and zip-tying it shut? Cheap and probably not gonna get you a vandalism charge.
Sure, I’m just saying it’s quick and easy and probably won’t land you in jail, it’ll prevent surveillance for the x-amount of time it’s on, and will take resources to go remove. At which point you can do it again.
When I was renting an apt decades ago the landlord had left a hole in the wall, I grabbed one of those cans of expanding foam and oh boy did he curse me with the mess that left after I moved out. I’m sure the bag could contain the same foam. And keep those electronics nice and warm .
Ooh, outfitting a drone with that stuff might be a really interesting way to disable those things, if someone were to do such a thing. But I would imagine that doing so might lead to that kind of foam being heavily restricted. It might be beneficial for people to study the benefits of using multiple substances for that purpose, like spraypaint, that foam, and other materials which would be easy to use. I wonder if water balloons/sandwich bags filled with that stuff might be similarly useful.
Just for scientific consideration, of course. Again, I’m not advocating that people try all of these various things in order to determine which are the most effective at destroying these privacy invasion tools which should not themselves exist and which should be felonies to own or operate.
Hm, interesting. I’ve never tried the balloon thing to be honest. I guess it normally uses the humidity in the air, because I never had to add water when I used it in the past

Hmm that’s true

As soon as it leaves the pressurized can it expands and then hardens in less than 30 seconds, so it wouldn’t really work in balloons or sandwich bags
But a Google search says it doesn’t expand without exposure to moisture?
If it’s pumped into water balloons and the water balloons are kept sealed, I wonder if it would still expand.
