But despite their many impressive features, the devices can be taken down.

“You just have to spray it with Aqua Net hairspray in its ‘face’,” Cummings said. “And that would be enough to stop the cameras from working correctly.”

FYI

Lol why is Aqua Net hairspray specifically the thing that takes them down? Like other brands of hairspray don't work? Spray paint or Elmer's glue or maple syrup aren't effective? You can't just throw a bedsheet over them or hit them with a crowbar?

Definitely don't Google "2K spray paint" because it's impossible to remove and you can seriously damage surveillance devices with it, like cameras and stuff I dunno

Small Soldiers also taught us how to turn an electric pole transformer into an improvised EMP device. That turns the dogs off.
