That's actually brilliant. Imagine just setting up the camera an inch from the other one and right in front of it, pointed at it.
When you eventually get questioned, say you have a secret contract with city council.
Heck just putting them up randomly and then claiming a secret contract would enrage Flock lmao.

Anything but going after real criminals

Hmm... sounds like an escalation to me, but I don't think those evildoers will back down. Next thing you know these dastardly criminals will start using these incredibly cheap DIY emp generators to disable surveillance.
No hacking or sawing, no fingerprints on the pole. Just flick a switch and all the electronics nearby go pop. Of course, a fake camera will take no damage, meaning it would render this particular honeypot of entrapment harmless.
Good thing nobody's tried it yet!

Sounds like there's too many cops with too much free time.
