They don't just collect video either. Audio, network traffic, Bluetooth devices, tons of electronic intelligence can still be gotten with covered cameras
The Bluetooth tracking is much more sinister than people know. The city I'm in has devices specifically for this placed strategically along with the alpr and cameras. Its fuckin' wild. Can't even leave without them tracking you.
I don't know how, but I bet there's an enterprising way to make a nice cheap battery powered Bluetooth scrambler that can be stuck right on one of those poles with a magnet and just absolutely ruin their signals.
