    Why smash them when they can easily be disabled with a green laser pointer.

      Really? I have a 5W green laser pointer that I think might work well for this then…

        A 5W laser would disable most things you point it at

          Well I know what I’m doing in a night or two (I want to make sure there aren’t a ton of other people around because of reflection).

          Are we talking it ruining the camera sensor in seconds? This is exciting.

            I think they are joking about the 5w part, as that’s an incredibly powerful laser then. Its likely you have the number wrong?

      Some people attain their cathartic vibes in different ways. Also, smashing is more permanent; more parts have to be replaced to get it functional.
