    If you hit an airplane they will try very hard to track you down. If you hit too many cameras they will probably try to find you, too. They will use your purchase history, social media post history, and location, for instance. So, best to buy the laser somewhere far from where you use it, AND pay cash if you can.

    Not that I recommend this, but if you want to try, be smart about it. And, be careful.

      That’s the problem with this really. You gotta be really careful you’re not caught on camera beforehand, and they have a lot of cameras. So unless you can just walk out of the woods near one and disappear the same way, you’re likely gonna have a bad time.

        I think its horrible that so many things are happening to us from our own government. They are supposed to be on our side but that was long ago now.

        A camera is a camera no matter the brand. Take a walk around your neighborhood and imagine the cone of sight each one has, eventually you’ll see one that doesn’t have another watching. From there it’s just a game of mine sweeper.

          You also have to be able to fry the camera without it being able to record you before you’re successful. Can you burn out the sensor from an angle of attack that still has you out of view? Maybe, maybe not. And how will you know for sure?

            I would think probably not. Light paths are typically reciprocal, ignoring scattering or dispersion.

            In other words, if photons from your body aren’t hitting the camera sensor, how are photons from the laser going to hit the camera?

            Unless you have an insane laser that shouldn’t be used outdoors, I doubt there will be damage from an indirect hit.

              This was my thought as well and if so, it’s virtually impossible to fry the camera holding a laser without being recorded doing it. And even a poor quality pic of you might be good enough to match to a pic of you getting out of your vehicle, and that good enough for a plate match from another camera. This is a high-risk endeavor.

      Purchase history is harder to check than you’d think. Use a giftcard on AliExpress and anyone outside of the federal level will be lost.

        Theres always the straw- buyer/ owner method. Person A buys the tool, preferably with some legitimizing use for it. While Person A is alibied, Person B borrows the tool, uses it to do the deed, then returns it.
