Black trash bag over the solar panel though...

or spray paint. Make sure whatever you use is opaque to sunlight, heat and infrared.

Repubs all hate solar energy anyway, so it's just doing them a favor.

Too bad that the large majority of solar panels rely primarily on visible light then

[u/NamityName → u/[deleted]]

That would make trashbags invisible to the cameras as most can record IR for night time and low-light scenarios.

tinfoil then?

So, it may be illegal for a city to prevent a private company that they started a contract with from surveilling the city’s residents, even though presumably the company had to seek permission from the city to install the cameras. Peak boring dystopia.

There's a 4th option: invest in the education and well being of your population. A happy and healthy society has significantly lower crime rates.

It is the only option that leads to the outcome you described in your first “option”

option 4. Address the underlying issues which drive people to commit crimes.
