Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car’s location, date, and time. They also capture your car’s make, model, color, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points. These cameras collect data on millions of vehicles—regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. While these systems can be useful for tracking stolen cars or wanted individuals, they are mostly used to track the movements of innocent people.

Those are poor examples of property damage to affect change. Why would an environmentalist destroy an electric vehicle station? And someone responding with violence to being mis-label is just an asshole, violence or property damage is only effective if directed at those that can affect change.
Now someone who cuts the charging cord at a Tesla station in protest to Elon's hold on our collective information (DOGE), or someone slashing the tires of a vehicle belonging to ICE, now we're talking.
I don't think property damage is or should be the answer to just any societal ill, but I absolutely support it when they've taken away other reasonable forms of redress. Flock fits that bill, as does ICE, etc.
I agree with you on your final point, specifically about Flock. Which is why I would never say that property damage isn't he answer.
