The author wants them smashed. The point of the article is to attempt to normalize and provide justification for the behavior, so that more people feel OK doing it.

Shows lack of critical thinking and rigor.
Flock cameras and the surveillance state generally speaking make me feel like a slave.
What about registration plates? Do they make you feeling like a slave?
I've warmed to LLM-generated/assisted writing in general but this kind of stuff is just lazy and is basically "I got Claude to say something I agree with and then made it pretty".

I'm curious, what's the profit in muggings these days? Almost nobody I know still carries cash. The mugger could probably get a phone, but more and more are useless to anyone but the owner. Same with credit cards, easily canceled and fraud detection is better than ever so not very useful.
Plus apple watch, airpods, etc.
I’m think the average pedestrian carries more cash equivalents than at any time in history.

No it won't. (Source: got legislation for this, pretty good bead on who the stakeholders are). This is all Internet logic. It's fun to talk about destroying cameras as a vector for public policy, ergo, by the First Law of Message Boards, that must be a viable strategy. Reader, it is not. Nobody's going to blink at these costs, but residents who supported or were on the fence about the cameras are now negatively polar…
What if we just zip tie bags over them while working on legislation?
not sure why people are bothering with destruction, just drive around and shut them down wirelessly. some newer models require a button to be pressed for them to start the AP, but still leaves them vulnerable to attacks with a long stick and doesn't draw any attention while hundreds of cameras suddenly stop working, making the city government think they're unreliable.
