1000nm light is infrared.

That would be a class IV laser and dangerous to eyesight merely from the light scattered off surfaces you point it at. If you point it at a camera and watch what is happening for a while you could get irreversible eye damage.
There is nothing special about cameras that makes them vulnerable - if you shine such a laser at a person, you’ll likely burn them too. If the beam shines or bounces into your eye, you will likely burn your retina before you can even blink.
This is not a meme or a shitpost, it is very dangerous.
Use eye protection when vandalizing the surveillance state, got it!
Also do it when nobody else is around.
That’s good advice regardless of the danger your vandalism poses to bystanders.
Aircraft don’t always have transponders on so can’t rely on flight trackers
Imagine blinding a [military] pilot even just for the briefest moment. We can’t keep them in the sky on a good day for reasons I don’t understand (they’ll hit commercial aircraft or vice versa!)
Places like Santa Cruz simply fought these spy cams with their voices. Riseeee upppp, no votes for any city councilpeople who are OK Flocking up their own turf
Subsonic 22LR would be cheaper, more effective, and safer.
So it seems lol. Quite ironic.
And you can get it from the side where there won’t be video of you doing the deed. A little target practice is a nice bonus.
Get spray paint and a nerdy friend that prints this for you

Spray can on a stick.
Why not just a baseball bat?
Presumably because it’s a camera and a laser could be far enough away not to see who’s doing the laser pointing.
The camera doesn’t see 360 degrees, just sayin’
Assuming there is just one.
Also worth noting: Flock cameras and most other ALPRs operate at 840nm, which is perfect for purchasing IR LEDs at their operating wavelength, so you can hide them behind a license plate border to toggle on whenever you drive past one to wash out any details they could pickup.
But a police officer would definitely be pulling you over and citing you if they catch that, so like, be sneaky or vigilant with its use.
A tip for you all when you need to damage small objects without getting caught:
Make the best slingshot you can, train your aim and shooting strength, wait for a heavy rain day and shoot ice cubes at it. The rain will impair visibility and muffle the impact sounds, making it much harder to spot you, and there will be no evidence of what hit the object. Also, there’s nothing illegal about having a slingshot with you. The rain can make it harder to hit the object, but a few attempts will allow to learn compensate for it
1000mW or simply 1W.
You’re right, but for something like a consumer laser pointer that’s typically rated in mW it makes sense to write 1000 mW and not 1 W.
It makes clear how vastly different that is from the regular ones.1000000 uWatt!
Damn, that’s a big number
but that doesn’t sound as cool
which also means anywhere that sells them would advertise it as 1000 [GOLDEN PRESENTERS VOICE WITH HIGH REVERB] mW and I feel a lot of people wouldn’t know the difference.
A laser pointer is supposed to be limited to a maximum of 5mW, so these are really freaking powerful (200 times stronger). I don’t have experience with lasers that strong, because I value my eyesight, and that of my pets. Please learn more about lasers than I know before purchasing something like this.
A lot of the lazers from non reputable brands have are more powerful than rated, I think it was styropyro that has videos of it. But also a few sites sell 1w lasers and also it’s easy to make as well.
Aren’t the fools that do this going to end up on the optical camera part? My area is blanketed with these and the AI will apparently follow humans, not just cars.
Afaict this is destroying the optical camera part, so as long an you’re not exposing your face or destroy it from outsido it’s fov one will be fine.
Is it foolish to destroy surveillance devices installed by fascists?
It might be impossible to destroy from outside the FOV because you inherently need to hit the sensor to damage it. Also a lot of them have a 360° view more than likely
To hit the sensor, you need to be in shot (by definition). Remember that walking patterns and other minutia can help identify you.
Get a wheelchair or some such nonsense. A cane and practice a limp. Also wear laser safety goggles.
Try walking with a pebble in your shoe. That’ll change your gait and its not something you’re faking so it doesn’t require focus to maintain.
Yes, a big one for me is the distance between your eyes. I see so many people covering their face but not their eyes and the bridge of their nose.
