Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car’s location, date, and time. They also capture your car’s make, model, color, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points. These cameras collect data on millions of vehicles—regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. While these systems can be useful for tracking stolen cars or wanted individuals, they are mostly used to track the movements of innocent people.

22 cal break action air rifles are like 80$, and I've shot mine through 16 gauge steel. Less effort, widely available, and an easy tool for resistance.
If you get caught with one, lots of people have pellet guns. If you get caught with a homemade laser, they know it was you, and it's a crime just to possess one.
A crime to possess a homemade laser? I'm pressing X on that one.
Yeah that one is a bit citation needed. I was looking into making a laser a while back, and kept bumping into regulations about certain power levels being considered a destructive device. This is especially problematic if burnt out cameras are being investigated, and you just happen to have a laser gun in your backpack.
A handheld slingshot has 1/2 the velocity of a .22 load and the projectile is about 10x the mass of a .22 bullet. Short range accuracy is very high with a small amount of practice.
This is an irrelevant statement.
