OK, I hear you. How bout baseball bats? They're something every American has.
My point is that they don't look too hard to destroy. Why fuck about with lasers?
They're usually high up enough that baseball bats would be tough, but they're an option for some situations. Lasers are nice because they're inexpensive(ish) and can be operated from a vehicle, e.g. just roll up on a bike, blast the sensor, and scram. There are other options, but if you have a high-power laser already and want to strike a blow for freedom, this is one way to do it.
Generally they're mounted high enough you can't hit them with a stick (totally sincere here: I am so curious where the idea that every american has a baseball bat came from. We don't, that's like assuming every canadian has a hockey stick). The best method of physically damaging them is just to loop a chain around them and pull them down then hit them with your standard-issue Size 2 Louisville Slugger. But that takes time and several people, so for a quick & clean takedown laser pointers are fairly effective.
