Cameras are getting so you don't know they are cameras. Here is a sign meant to make you look at it to read it - then it gets a full face shot of you.
Does anybody know how big a laser it takes to burn the crap outa one of these cameras? Will a class III laser pointer do it?

I doubt it gravid. Some time back I saw some experimental digital photography that was done by a guy who used a bare ccd (no optics) and pointed a laser pointer at it in a dark room. Pretty 60's type psychedelic images, but he didn't mention that it hurt the imager. A nice bit of low tech mischief on that thing would be a handful of axle grease, or if it was above your reach, a can or two of silly string

gravid, its amazing the technology they are using to envade one's privacy without acknowledgment or consent. To me, the govt and law enforcement wanted this long before 9-11 or supreme terrorist threats.
Did you see with the Scott Peterson case (which I am not all that interested in but if its on the news and I am watching I will listen abt it) but I caught something yesterday about them putting a GPS *(sp) tracker on his vehicle and admitting it into evidence?
I was wondering how they could do that? I suppose there must have been a court order?

No court order, that I have heard of.
Placing that GPS on Peterson's vehicle is a example of how the power vested by the Patriot Act can be abused by law enforcement!
