You are far more likely to blind an innocent person, don't do it. They require too strong of a laser and you are going to be pointing it at reflective glass. There are easier, cheaper, safer ways.
Since i damaged a smartphone camera with a laser i can tell you, the damage are small black holes where the laser was visible. It would take loads of effort to destroy it in a significant amount. You would have to run (fly) around and shine from every angle.

I've only gotten conflicting information on lasers destroying cameras.

Is this the "don't do it" kind of "don't do it" or the same kind of "don't do it" as in the OP?

Don't permanently blind innocent people. Lasers are no joke.

Strong enough laser and you need a phd to even see the product catalogue.

I'm qualified. I've seen a guy on YouTube.

okay, but what if they are not innocent?
let him who is without sin cast the first beam?

And where does that land us?
Gloriously beaming at each other while squinting. No, we must not give into the desires of the photon.

As this is lasers, I'd assume the "don't fucking do it" kind, since there's always a chance of serious injury.

The cat toy is not strong enough.

You're far more likely to destroy your own eyes. A lot of old laser scientists have permanent vision damage the way woodworkers have missing fingers.

The $50 version he mentions isn't gonna do much.

It takes at least 5mW

Instructions unclear, dick stuck in camera

At some point they will just install automatic gun systems on them for "safety"

I just stare at them menacingly until the camera operators can’t bear to look at the feeds anymore

Is this a sunglass commercial?

The sunglasses won't do shit against modern facial recognition, let alone gait and ear recognition.

Next thing we know is people wearing sunglasses on ears and over the whole body to conceal the movement

Or just like, the most popular overear headphones sold in your area with socks balled up under your heel.

Simply release spiders near the pole. Orbweeving spiders love the camera heat and will naturally want to live there and block the view.
