"I'm being punished. So is my business. And, you know what, it's worth it. The only thing necessary for evil to be done is for good men to do nothing."
What a champion.

Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car’s location, date, and time. They also capture your car’s make, model, color, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points. These cameras collect data on millions of vehicles—regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. While these systems can be useful for tracking stolen cars or wanted individuals, they are mostly used to track the movements of innocent people.

Wow I can't believe he would damage something like that. He should use a circular saw with a metal cutting blade, not his truck. It's quicker and less likely to be caught by other people.
Also why is he being punished for community service?

If done properly, using a truck could be very quick and very unlikely to be 'caught'.
1: Swerve erratically and hit the pole at speed.
2: Adamantly claim that you were avoiding a squirrel, hit some kind of oily patch on the road, and lost control. Purely an accident.
3: For good measure, sue Flock for the hazardous pole placed too close to the road, try to get them to pay for the damages to your truck.
There's another dude I've seen that goes around and checks the safety of Flock camera installations and reports them the the Dept of Transportation.
Hitting one at speed might not be the best idea. He finds ton that are installed without being crash worthy (embedded straight into concrete).
Here's a link to his stuff: https://youtu.be/SG8DwNqxz6E

Just need a big truck with a heavily reinforced steel front bumper.
Back in the day, I used to have a Jeep with such a bumper. Lost control once and skidded off the road at 30mph straight into a big pine tree. It dented the tree. Left a 2-3 inch deep imprint of the bumper on the side of the tree. Absolutely no damage to the truck, not even a little scuff on the bumper.
