AI Summary

In the “Wiedersehen” episode of Better Call Saul (Season 4, Episode 9), Werner Ziegler blinds a security camera with a laser pointer, a tactic later discovered by Mike Ehrmantraut when dead pixels appear on the monitor feed. Engadget notes that while a very powerful laser, an older camera model, and an extremely steady pulse can temporarily blind or even permanently damage a camera, achieving this in practice is difficult and often illegal. In 2021, a man in Clearwater was arrested after pointing a laser at several Church of Scientology surveillance cameras, causing dead spots that cost over $2,000 in damages, though the cameras still recorded his actions.
