Sure would be a shame if someone pointed lasers into them.
That’s a bad idea. You don’t want to get a stranger, or yourself in the eye.
Anything that would do meaningful damage to a camera sensor will easily to that to human eyeballs if it refracts or gets reflected.
Especially for cheaper high-power lasers, which may not properly filter out invisible wavelengths.
Spray paint poles are cheaper and safer. Tungsten carbide sawzall blades aren’t that expensive either
You’d need a laser powerful enough and those are hard to get. Those are super dangerous I’d recommend people stay away from them if they don’t know about how they work.
Absolutely. 500mW+ lasers can injure human eyes in a fraction of a second, even from a reflection, similar to how they can destroy a camera sensor.
They’re not particularly hard to get online in the USA though.
The police have been yelling for years that fighting crime is just an unwanted side effect of their actual jobs; protecting capital and killing brown people.
One of these days we should believe them.
They’re to prevent justified civil unrest
Really good at helping cops commit crimes though
That was never the objective in the first place. Blanket surveillance and getting people used to the idea of zero privacy, ever again.

Just like most AI, it makes the user lazier. And I’m someone who is forced to use AI for work and I can confirm.
Why would police actively try to solve a crime when they could lean on flock? Even if it gets it wrong they can say they tried and then move on.
Yeah, we know. Is the FBI now just the FB?
