Feels like this is quietly demonstrating the infrastructure they now have in place anticipating that their surveillance devices are being removed/destroyed by the public. If they detect any kind of "outage" system just sends a team to install a new camera (likely the same that installed originally). No investigation or closure needed, at least not initially. They are just building the "vandalism" into the business model now.

A stronger sign than most that they will change nothing and that they essentially expect the same or more resistance going forward.
