No, you have to go after the local politicians who keep approving these systems. Electorally of course, you psychos. Your local city council rep is going to feel much more pressure from an angry letter from a voter than your senator would.

They will sue you for harassment. Keep in mind that when it's done to them, it's "different".

But you do have to recognize that you can't just break the fascade of the machine to get it to stop working.
