Actually yes, it massively increases the number of potential charges. Also way more likely to get excited police officers turning up quickly and knowing you have a gun.
Shooting upwards at the cameras puts innocent people in danger. I know gun cultures love to sky fire but in Canada we don’t do that dumb shit. Especially out west where the mountains obscure who lives a mile away. Could easily kill some rancher with no hospital for 100 miles. (or a cow!)
Ricochet. If the bullet goes through the camera and hits the pole it could deflect and injure a bystander.
Shrapnel. Hit the wrong spot and the camera might eject sharp pieces that could hurt someone.
Discharging a firearm in a city or near a highway is a crime, as well as being unsafe and irresponsible. Shooting from a vehicle is also usually illegal and there may be other laws specifically for firearms that they be charged with too such as possession of a firearm when committing a crime.
For example robbing a bank is a crime but robbing a bank which a firearm is two different crimes and if you show the gun that can be brandishing which is a third. For this reason, and because bank tellers are told to just hand over the money which is all government insured, most people rob banks by only passing a note to the cashier and not having any weapons at all.
Real question for the USA people, will shooting them be anymore of a crime? Just sounds like a faster and more fun way of doing this.

They don’t put these cameras up in neighbourhoods where gunshots are expected
Yes, which means people will report them and the cops will turn up faster.

That is literally what the were sold for in order to notify police about gunshots in the area. All the other bullshit was added after.
Canadian here. Way too dangerous!

People suck at aiming.
