    Aside from direct vandalism or persuasion, is there something I can do to combat the Ring cameras on nearly every door in my neighborhood?

      Build a giant animatronic ring doorbell camera with binoculars that peers into your neighbors homes, wearing a “Hello, my name is Big Brother” sticker?

    Do we only care while they do it or can we manage to care that they would do it?

      They already have been doing it. This is just an upgrade to what they were already doing. Ring cameras were already being used by the police for years.

    Security cameras connected to the Internet are just…a terrible idea.
