Couple dead pixels from a particularly bright light might well make them unable to do their plate reading job efficiently. Might make for an interesting study.
I doubt the lenses are glass, which means the solvents in spray paint will be, effectively, impossible to clean off without damaging the lens in the process. I doubt they have a maintenance team with such finesse as opposed to one that just replaces the device, just every other US support service.
These things are usually pretty high up. The camera in my neighborhood are about 15ft / 4.5m up. When one goes down, they have to queue up for a truck to be sent out.

Lasers tend not to be good for camera sensors, I’ve heard.
That might actually work, but it’s probably easier and safer to just use a can of spray paint
Paint seems easier to detect and remove.
Paint can be seen by passers by. A fried sensor can’t.

I’ve suggested paint before, and several people replied that there things have coatings on the lens that resist paint and other chemical attacks.
It’s almost like flock anticipated that people would be pissed off at them…

Something something double tap.
I like your style
