Trust your instincts, but if you need intellectual justification
then:"The gaze of the cameras does not fall equally on all users of the street
but on those who are stereotypical predefined as potentially deviant, or through appearance and demeanour, are singled out by operators as unrespectable.
In this way youth, particularly those already socially and economically marginal,
may be subject to even greater levels of authoritative intervention and official stigmatisation,
and rather than contributing to social justice through the reduction of victimisation,
CCTV will merely become a tool of injustice through the
amplification of differential and discriminatory policing.
"an instrument of social control and the production of discipline;
the production of `anticipatory conformity`;
the certainty of rapid deployment to observed deviance and;
the compilation of individualised dossiers of the monitored population."
"The unforgiving Eye: CCTV surveillance in public space" Dr Clive Norris and Gary Armstrong of the Centre for Criminology and Criminal Justice at Hull University, UK. "What we have been able to show is that CCTV didn`t reduce crime - if anything it has increased - and it didn`t reduce fear of crime. If anything there was a slight increase in anxiety."

METHODS OF ATTACK.

3.1) Plastic bag.
Plastic bag filled with glue does the trick nicely. cheap and almost as effective as other short term techniques. Use Industrial grade bags which are thicker. Sometimes a camera going into repair will be `bagged` over, so visually its ambiguous. To Bag a camera theres a high chance that you can reach it with ease. If this is the case dont hesitate to smash the glass, lens and any other components. Dont bag it afterwards, people need to see the units smashed.Gives clear indication of inoperability.

3.2) Sticker and tape.Placing of sticker or tape over lense.Good training activity.Gives clear indication of inoperability.

3.3) Paint gun.Use a childs power water pistol with household paint.Fast, fun and easy method - Highly recommended.Easy to disable many cameras in a short period of time. a typical one hour action can easily take out 10 cameras.Carry reserve paint in plastic containers.Filter paint to remove lumps to avoid blocking gun.Go for lense first and then cover the rest of the camera and surrounding area.Clear indication of inoperability, plus draws further attention to the camera.Camera is easily cleaned so only effective for short time only.We used super soaker SC 400 - 2000 Edition camoflaged for urban night actions.With a 50/50 mix of water based house paint (emulsion) and water we could hit targets easily at 4.5m above the ground.Such a paint mixture totally obscures view through glass lense cover once applied.Be prepared to get splattered: use disposable clothing.No climbing required. &&&;
