it's probably less illegal than stealing signs.

Especially if you're using duct tape or something, it's hardly even vandalism at that point.

I don't much care about the legality. I'd be much more concerned about a Trump supporter sitting in front of a monitor staring at a hidden camera feed of the sign on his lawn, just itching for someone to vandalize it so he could come out guns blazing,.

reminder that conservative are more frequently blue collar, more frequently rural, and more frequently working labor of some kind, the likelihood that they have security cameras is low, and the likelihood that they work is even lower.

while they likely do have guns, and are more likely to use them, i doubt that it makes a significant difference if you plan properly.

doesn't take much, an old android phone and a cheap battery pack are all someone needs for a wireless security camera setup

and it also doesn't take much to completely bonk the setup, or better yet, just assume it isn't working. There's a good chance that 75% of the reason security cameras exist is actually for deterrence.
