So what's the trick to doing this if they're on a 12 ft pole?
The pole isn't the issue I see. It's.. well. How does one dispose of a camera that is watching you dispose of it?
Seems like all they gotta do is watch you walk up, get a face or a plate, and then knock on your door later and write a hefty fine.
Offer a nice bounty on them for the unhoused. Can't knock on your door if you don't have a door! If some of the parts inside are valuable enough to make the endeavor self sustaining then it's simply a case of successful morally appropriate civil disobedience.
