I was thinking about those outfits celebrities wear that mess with flash photography equipment, and I was watching a dude on TV just now whose shirt pattern was going apeshit because of the camera, and I wondered if there could ever be a pattern or material that, when filmed, caused the camera irreversible damage. And if that were physically possible, I wondered if intentionally showing up to camera-heavy events wearing said shirt would constitute a crime on my part.
It’s just a shirt after all. It’s not like I’m grabbing a camera and smashing it on the ground. But at the same time, I know it will have that effect, so I’m accountable. But it’s not like my shirt is emitting damaging laser beams or anything, it’s entirely passive.
Also, is there anything like this scenario in real life/law?
Not passive. Won’t damage cameras.
Yes not passive but you’re not thinking big enough.
That just brings us back to lasers, though.
No, but you will basically look like a bloomed-out version of this:
This is my thought: unless everyone uses it, they just have to track the one glowing dude. Eventually you’ll be in front of a camera or person who will identify you clearly, and it will be that much easier because you’re glowing.
