I wonder what a high power laser would do to the camera sensor if pointed at it. Like those lidar lasers messing up phone cameras.

    You can destroy a camera sensor with a powerful laser. Protesters in Hong Kong were doing this in 2019-2020. However, there's a lot of room for error - you have to get the angle just right, and you have no way of knowing if you've done it.

    I watched a video where this was actually attempted and it was shown that it was almost impossible to keep the hand steady enough to actually do permanent damage to the camera. I can't vouch for how true it actually is but it does track logically.
