The messiest part would be not getting caught on one of the cameras before, during or after doing the deed.

R. C. Cars operated by extenders to the antennas, you could have someone drive one around to take focus off of them and have a printout of a human face in high detail.

You have full arm gloves on and you use contacts and a wig just in case. Could also do a full body gorilla suit with contacts in and have a clip on device near your hands that emits a bleach mist so your finger prints aren't there. Like spider man's cartridges but for bleach misting.

    Yeah, totally possible to do in an anonymous style, you just need to consider anonymous transport; they have cameras leading up to and away from most places. If they really got their nickers in a wad, they'd ask local businesses and ring cameras for footage. Trying to do something like this is more akin to planning a heist with all the surveillance.

    Someone should make a mass loader of like 10,000 bluetooth devices that don’t exist, pre-generated and loaded ready to go and when they scan your device it auto loads 10,000 devices and it overloads the scanner and crashes. Bonus points if the generator is built-in to the device to re-use on other flock cameras after the first hit :P

    I've seen some tech that searches out hot mirros and blasts them with an intense IR laser to burn out the sensors. Of course by then, they already have seen your plate.
