Though Jean insists it was all in good fun and never meant to encourage vandalism, the stunt ignited debate about public safety tech. Local police chief Steve Dolunt clarified that while accidental damage is one thing, intentionally destroying these license plate readers could land you in jail. New Baltimore plans to install two cameras next year for $7,500, targeting high-crime zones — but Dolunt warns they need strict data retention rules and harsher penalties for misuse. Jean even joked that vandalizing a camera might earn you a free tattoo — or at least a design inspired by the chaos.
