What you don't want to do is keep repeating the same tactics, especially if they start cracking down. There's been a fair bit of documentation that tactical innovation drives movement participation and engagement.
If they make it a felony to put a black bag over a camera? Simply stand at the base with signs that also have the name of the city council members or whoever voted for it and their phone number. Hand out leaflets to passers by.
Sticker the fuck out of the poles, for sure.
Take it one step further and do a "camera sit" by hanging a platform from a camera pole and having someone occupy it. Sure, the cops will show up with lift truck and take them down, but all you need is that one viral image of a person sitting above a well-known intersection hanging from a flock camera pole with a nice sign or banner. Boom! Instant national attention.
