Why not just go with the easy solutions?
Simple: good disguise, a can of opaque spray-on acrylic(that way they
need to replace it instead of just cleaning it off). One person can
quickly disable all of the cameras in an area. Perhaps even using a
model helicopter so that even the disguise is not needed.
Cheap: electronics sensor and an over-powered laser pointer
(apparently some of the lasers used in clubs today will damage or
destroy a CCD sensor, and if you make the CCD smaller and cheaper, it
only becomes more vulnerable)
Expensive: optical camouflage
And all of this is assuming you only have today's technology to defeat
TL10 surveillance
Also:
How cheap is surveillance if half of the cameras are stolen or
vandalized by punk kids every night?
Arrest them for graffiti a few times and they will quickly find a way
to bypass/disable/destroy the cameras.
No kid want's 'the feds' to watch while he makes out with his
girlfriend any more than they want their parents to know about it.
And some kids will do it just for fun.
Well, you make it sound easy, but that is with cameras you can really
see. At TL10 cameras may not be nano-tech, but they could easily be
solar powered sticky balls that look like some kind of plant seed.
Their wireless mesh networking is probably lost in the background noise
of all the other communications going on.
Unless it's made illegal to build or buy these things, regular civilians
could spread them around just to see what's happening. Not to mention
all the up-skirt shots and high school girl's shower rooms.
I can't really imagine a spherical light pulse powerful enough to kill
the CCD on something like that as standard anti-camera equipment. A
directional laser, sure, if you know where to aim.
