Nothing that a can of paint or a bucket of tar couldn’t fix.
Throw and run … and the local department would have to spend an hour locating the vehicle to get people to it, then a few hours more towing it back, then days more to clean it up.
Cleanup is absolutely a time burn, but let’s also be real; they’ll go straight to it via GPS tracking and unless you get the windshield real good, someone will just get in and manual drive it back to the station.
True … but it might be time to figure out a liquid combination that stains or is slightly corrosive. You don’t need to melt things, just corrosive enough to etch, mar or deform glass or plastics of sensor lenses.
You clean everything up but realize that the liquid has permanently damaged an imaging lens cover, either with deep stains or corrosion.
Then you replace it but then it costs money and time.
Craft stores sell glad etching cream that will absolutely do this (to the types of glass I’ve used it on). Unless there is some super specific chemistry to windshield glass, a jar of that should work.
I know for a fact one of the cities in my area uses the people who are in the city jail for unpaid fines. They get $50 off their fine… by doing all the labor of the jail, like washing the floor, cooking the food, and yes, washing the cop cars.

It had a drone attached to it, that would follow you and record you as you run

And you do it over and over again
Termite is pretty easy to make and should do the…ok, pretty much every job
Hydrofluoric acid is really good at etching glass.
But it’s also really good at eating your bones.

Contain a small amount and seal it inside a glass ball or cylinder … use a slingshot to throw it
I was thinking paintballs ;)
In my experience, they might not clean their own vehicles. They get people serving community service hours for petty crimes to do it for them.
Or so I’m told.
We had to to clean and detail courthouse workers’ (judges, DA, etc) personal vehicles for community service as children.

Indentured servitude. Nice!
Got to love how the 13th amendment made an exception for prisoners.
You’re just wasting tax payer dollars, unfortunately
No. You’re spending tax payer dollars to send a message that the tax payers didn’t want their dollars spent on unmanned police surveillance.
