    I bet they’d search for cell location records, in order to find who damaged the cameras. I hear that even turning your phone off won’t help. Surely they’ll be caught unless someone also leaves their phone at home.

      • leave your phone at home
      • instead of destroying it, wrap it in duct tape or something like that, because afaik obstructing a camera owned by a private company which happens to be placed on public property is not illegal

            I addressed that already - there are three of them within 100ft of each other, and two of them are on the same post.

            Here’s a pic:

                I work in manufacturing and have multiple hardhats and hi-vis vests available to take 😂

                I just need a white truck with a bogus govt plate now… Make sure to slap a big ol’ Trump sticker on it for maximum stealth. Maybe borrow my sister’s work truck… Pretty generic-looking white Dodge.

                  You don’t need a government plate. No one questions a plain white truck. You could use a plate switcher or some retro reflective tape or magnet but like, smoke a cigarette and look unhappy to be working, no one will look twice.

                    The cameras capture plate data, that’s the issue. And along those lines - I don’t know how long the retention period is for our particular area. They just started appearing.
