    I can see an angle when refusal is going to escalate things badly for reasons that could be understood.

    Whatever “angle” you see is yourmond trying to justify forcefully grabbing someone’s property to destroy it.

    I don’t like surveillance either.

    But you can’t go around forcefully breaking other people’s stuff unless it threatens your well being at that moment.

      The thing is, it may actually threaten someone’s wellbeing.

      Surveillance, especially under a police state, can be a very clear and sometimes immediate threat.
