I would think probably not. Light paths are typically reciprocal, ignoring scattering or dispersion.
In other words, if photons from your body aren’t hitting the camera sensor, how are photons from the laser going to hit the camera?
Unless you have an insane laser that shouldn’t be used outdoors, I doubt there will be damage from an indirect hit.
If you stand directly under the camera it will only be able to see a hand and laser on the edge of it’s vision. That’s why you start with the last camera in the chain.
This was my thought as well and if so, it’s virtually impossible to fry the camera holding a laser without being recorded doing it. And even a poor quality pic of you might be good enough to match to a pic of you getting out of your vehicle, and that good enough for a plate match from another camera. This is a high-risk endeavor.
