lol Got ya sir, thank you for the advise
NO NOT under any circumstances do this to those FLOCK Cameras
This guy is probably a Leftist that has a problem with the FLOCK cameras because the government is using them to arrest Illegal Aliens, which has been a recent controversy. I'm not a fan of these cameras, but if they're going to be out there, I definitely want them being used to apprehend the Invaders.
Expect Flock is helping put criminals behind bars. Only crime loving libtards would want to remove the cameras.
Do not, build a green disco laser machine and drive it down the interstate under any circumstances.
Bro citing better call Saul and hyping up destruction of property.
If it ain’t yours leave it alone.
Because the bill ![]()
will be sent ![]()
to the last person seen by the camera with a stupid laser pointer
The solution's probably pretty simple like an auto darkening welding lens.
This is stoopid. Flock will just bill the city for repair, replacement or servicing of the Flock cameras, meaning MOAR taxpayer money is going to be spent.
Do not damage the Flock cameras, people. This guy is a fucking internet moron. You will be charged with vandalism, and have to pay damages. Do you want to spend all morning in court?
The Physics: Camera sensors (like CMOS/CCD) are essentially miniature solar panels that convert light into an image. Concentrating a high-energy laser beam directly onto the sensor overwhelms the silicon and can physically melt or burn it.
The Damage: This kind of damage usually appears as permanent black spots, dead pixels, or vertical colored lines on all your future photos and videos.
Factors That Determine the Extent of Damage
Laser Power: Standard consumer laser pointers (under 5 milliwatts) generally don't have enough energy to instantly fry a sensor. However, high-powered, industrial, or illegally modified lasers (500mW or multi-watt) can cause significant damage very quickly.
Exposure Time: A brief, accidental sweep of a laser across a lens (like at a concert) rarely causes permanent harm. It takes steady, prolonged exposure (often minutes) directed perfectly into the center of the lens to permanently ruin a sensor.
Magnification: Using an optical zoom or telephoto lens magnifies the laser, dramatically increasing the amount of energy concentrated on the sensor and raising the likelihood of damage.
