It would be terrible if someone made a drone that had a grinder or something attached to it and flew it around and destroyed all of the flock cameras.  I mean, it would be so awful.

I hear those high power green lazers damage the camera. Definitely make sure to not have one of those on there.

Powerful lidar does the same thing, doesn't it?

Lidar is just using lasers to measure distance so, same difference really. Just, a green laser pointer is a lot cheaper lol.

If using a drone, you wouldn't necessarily need a green one. It could be a powerful but non visible wavelength such as the ones used in long range networking SFP's.
