Regretful cities aren’t sure how to cancel their surveillance contracts, so they are literally covering their cameras.

      Really though, don’t do the precious metals part, cuz that’s what will get you caught. Carefully destroying them? Very doable, I strongly suspect.

        The precious metals content realistically isn’t interesting at all unfortunately. You could make a bit reselling the internal components (like probably not even 3 digits), but the value on the actual copper/etc is negligible. The solar panel is probably the most interesting piece, but the components are cheap as fuck.

          Its to encourage meth heads who only need 20 bucks and are desperate enough to go to jail for a lil bit of copper

      Welp. It’s too bad the shitty hotel I used to work at got shut down by the city.

      We had TONS of meth heads that would be very appriciative of that information.

      I would have bit of extra respect for a youtuber breaking down to get the precious metals out of specifically flok cameras
