There are less than 30 units in the whole place, and there are already cameras everywhere on all floors. I don't even know where you'd put 25 additional goddamn cameras, but evidently Landlord Madness finds a way. This same landlord apparently just spends their days driving past their properties all the time just looking for anything out of place, as this is just the latest in a long pattern of almost comically on the nose 1984 bullshit. Real social rot vibes too, like couple weeks ago when I saw my first rent-a-cop with a real gun at the grocery store.

I think this is it, I think this is where I learn to drone.

      that would be cool but IMO you can skip the drone. It's loud, just gonna wake up your neighbors. If you just do all the cameras in the middle of the night with black spray paint there will be no witnesses. Wear anonymous clothing and shoes, idk, probably doable without getting caught

        No witnesses except for the cameras. They only stop working after you've gotten up real close and spray painted em.

          hence the unidentifiable clothing.

          But yeah, neither way is trivial, I just think throwaway black clothes+mask or some shit is gonna work better than a drone, inside a populated building.

            "Strangers on a Train" but it's two people from different housing complexes spraypainting each others' landlord spyware

              I was just gonna recommend you get someone else to do it. If it's your building the chances of getting caught are super high. Like, even if you dress up, you're leaving your apartment either wearing your crime clothes or you leave and come back later in them, cause if you exit your apartment with the crime clothes and start doing crimes you'll get caught. If you're on camera leaving the building and then crime happens, the last person seen leaving the building on camera will be top suspect as well. Fr it's probably not worth doing anything about, it's your apartment building if you wanna do anything that needs privacy your apartment is right there. Don't really see how it'd affect you negatively

                I agree with everything besides

                bc there are definitely a lot of ways it could affect people negatively, even if you have "nothing to hide"

                  It's a bummer on principle but not necessarily one worth sticking your neck out or risking eviction over.
