The heroes we need.
strong winds too
Real question for the USA people, will shooting them be anymore of a crime? Just sounds like a faster and more fun way of doing this.
Canadian here. Way too dangerous!

Shooting upwards at the cameras puts innocent people in danger. I know gun cultures love to sky fire but in Canada we don't do that dumb shit. Especially out west where the mountains obscure who lives a mile away. Could easily kill some rancher with no hospital for 100 miles. (or a cow!)

Ricochet. If the bullet goes through the camera and hits the pole it could deflect and injure a bystander.
-
Shrapnel. Hit the wrong spot and the camera might eject sharp pieces that could hurt someone.

People suck at aiming.
A shotgun with bird shot eliminates most of those problems.
eliminates
You spelt exasperate wrong.
Birdshot can absolutely ricochet off steel (especially at the range we're applying it)
I don't know why you think it would produce less shrapnel.
And birdshot almost guarantees at least 1 projectile will miss the target given there's no backdrop.
You spelt exasperate wrong.
ITYM exacerbate.
Birdshot has a lot less mess per projectile though, so less energy in each one, and also more friction by mass, so the energy is lost a lot faster. I'm not saying it's safe, but it is less likely to be lethal at least.
In most skeet/clay shooting ranges, there is no backstop and the shooters are aiming into the air. With the tiny pellet sizes, they lose energy quickly and drop to the ground at terminal velocity, which is much slower than the speed they were fired. That's why I specifically named bird shot rather than buckshot which has larger heavier pellets. It would still maybe be fine but bird shot definitely would.
skeet/clay shooting ranges
"RANGE" Its it the name dumbass. A shooting range is specifically designed/located/oriented to accomodate for bullet dropoff.
But sure falsely equate that with shooting a shotgun off in the middle of town.
You are a fucking idiot. I wouldn't normally jump to this but what you're suggesting could kill someone.
I will be blocking you now.
Actually yes, it massively increases the number of potential charges. Also way more likely to get excited police officers turning up quickly and knowing you have a gun.
They don't put these cameras up in neighbourhoods where gunshots are expected
Yes, which means people will report them and the cops will turn up faster.
That is literally what the were sold for in order to notify police about gunshots in the area. All the other bullshit was added after.
Discharging a firearm in a city or near a highway is a crime, as well as being unsafe and irresponsible. Shooting from a vehicle is also usually illegal and there may be other laws specifically for firearms that they be charged with too such as possession of a firearm when committing a crime.
For example robbing a bank is a crime but robbing a bank which a firearm is two different crimes and if you show the gun that can be brandishing which is a third. For this reason, and because bank tellers are told to just hand over the money which is all government insured, most people rob banks by only passing a note to the cashier and not having any weapons at all.
Halloween is a good time for ... I forgot what I want to say ... but Halloween definitely is a good time.
There is more in a single video than what official numbers claim
New favorite American pastime.
Oh shoot! What happened??
Nothing happened. Just good old fireworks for the 4th of July or something.
Wow! I feel so patriotic now! I can't wait for the finale
Isn't it easier to shoot them with an air gun?
🤣
What would cause fire like that? Assume it is an internal lithium-based battery?
If these batteries get punctured, they'll burn like this. Source: I work in waste management, we have daily fires in the shredders because people are too lazy to properly dispose their old batteries.
The bush doesn't help
The Autumn Wind is a people
Struggling to be free
With a phone and car, they see quite far
And trackers all they see
Their bodies are well covered
And no one sees their faces
With lasers, saws, and power tools
Put fascists in their places
They go across the country
To knock down one by one
Care not to see just where they be
For this is not for fun
The Autumn Wind is a people
Who want to be alone
No one should know just where they go
Or what is on their phone
Dude, fuck yeah.
Flock this shit
By the time this is over you're gonna have to look back when you're backing up.
Darn! My wife is gonna be pissed and I'm gonna have to reinstall that camera.
