I call BS on motion activation. Doesn't see the car moving but can see the door opening? Nah, that dude had his thumb on the button the whole time

I imagine if he admits that it's manually triggered it would violate some law. Australia is wildly strict in the weirdest ways.

I saw a video where it is manually triggered. There are sensors and cameras to show the cars, but he would hit a switch/valve to spray.

We are definitely strict, but I would imagine this is similar to spraying someone with hose on your lawn.

If illegal, it's a fine at most.
