So the only thing that changed is that the area lost their own access to them at the termination date, but the camera companies still collect that data.

Sounds like the thing to do is take the cameras down

    Other cities are just covering them in trash bags.

    I started to write about covering, but I don't know the full sensor suite and I assume they can still collect a bunch of data. That sounds good as a first step, though.

    You know, you could fuck with those too. Those sensors are passive devices. They don’t directly engage with what they are observing. Which means they cannot authenticate anything. There’s no challenge-response.

    So I wonder how hard it would be to flood the blinded cameras with gibberish data.
