You don't have to damage it though... Just gently roll it on it's side for a little nap.

I think the company could still likely chase people who do that for damages if something broke or for lost profit since it would be pretty clear that it was intentionally disabled/intended to stop its function so it would be pretty clear in a civil court that there was tortious intent.

I wouldn't personally recommend doing it on these, they are essentially walking cameras.
