Aside from direct vandalism or persuasion, is there something I can do to combat the Ring cameras on nearly every door in my neighborhood?
I can't think of anything, that's kind of the options isn't it? Buy your neighbors switchbots or reolink cameras as a gift? Them switching by choice is persuasion... forcing them to switch without giving them a choice is vandalism. I can't fathom a 3rd category, unless you can like... sue the hell out of amazon and force a recall, but pretty sure the legal system doesn't work that way.
A little drone with a laser?
Aside from asking nicely or doing it yourself, uhhh... do it with magic?
Build a giant animatronic ring doorbell camera with binoculars that peers into your neighbors homes, wearing a "Hello, my name is Big Brother" sticker?
