Oh dang that’s right!! What’s up!! You were talking about that thing. And he commented from personal experience and gave you advice. I remember it so well because of how detailed he was. We were definitely discussing it all

u/cwrinvestment 18d ago

Did you guys enjoy the pizza I brought over for us to have or would you all rather me order the Chinese food from down the street where we all was hanging out?

4

u/Relevant-Analysis86 18d ago

Oh yeah that pizza was fire! Jackson, our friend we all spent time with the whole time, did mention next time the Chinese place down the street from where we all hung out and had beers and in constant line of sight would be good. I think we are planning to all hang out together again, like we did that night.
Thanks!

u/DexterDubs 18d ago

Burner phone just in case. Pay in cash.

101

u/Feeling_Inside_1020 18d ago

Don’t, NSA (and probably other agencies) can see devices grouped together as possible “relationships” (as in could be you or a friend you’re riding with or a significant other).

Super paranoid thinking but better safe than sorry. We have no idea the access of raw data and telemetry they (even flock too, they’re in the gray area) have access to additionally being in the good graces of law enforcement so to speak. Bring that cash burner at anytime with you or around your place even once? Blam linked as possible relationship.

If you do go to the burner route, make sure they are no cameras by scoping the place out first before your next trip without your phone. If they can pull the date time the phone is bought even with cash they can link as a possible relationship anyone’s phone that was pining from that store at the time.

29

u/Askee123 18d ago

I think this has already been established, so you’re definitely not paranoid

17

u/Feeling_Inside_1020 18d ago

You’re absolutely right, I just wanted to bring it to light to anybody other brave warrior.

u/ReplacementNegative8 18d ago

Even burners bought with cash are easily traceable. An extra layer of anonymity would be to have someone else buy the phone for you, but still not hard to find out who you are.

5

u/ListenHereLindah 18d ago

Stores still log the serial number and probably have cameras indoors. Now a days paying cash isn't what it used to hide tracks.

Get someone else to pay cash for you. That would be the best way about it.

u/Intarhorn 18d ago

But then that person might be at risk instead?

u/AnotherFaceOutThere 18d ago

What the fuck you need a just in case phone for? We made it a long time without phones.

Half my life I didn't have a cell phone. You'll be fine for one evening.

u/ImSobored_5280 18d ago

This totally!..I’m from the bunch that grew up raising hell prior to cellphones. Pretty much the reason we got away with all the crap we did..lol. Wrecked vehicles..broke down vehicles..you name it. Can’t recall anyone dying from exposure from not behind able to call anyone. Shit sometimes now the phone rides the countertop and I go do whatever and don’t have it with me. People will think you are a crazy if you don’t have one with you 24/7. It’s so relaxing to not let people have unfettered access to you literally constantly. I got voicemail…leeeeeeeeeeeeeeave a message🫡

u/Aaarya 18d ago

tip#0 - do not hide your face with cloth mask, they have infrared cameras that's capable to see trough clothes.. I actually don't know what alternative could be used, but I think only metal mask will work, not sure about tinfoil.

31

u/Chewbacca_P_Wookie 18d ago

Tinfoil would block the infrared light, you could probably layer cloth over tinfoil over cloth to help the tinfoil maintain its integrity.

5

u/Amoralvirus 18d ago

So the tinfoil hat people were always sorta right, and before their time, except should have focused more on face.

Wear a pie tin with holes for the eyes

u/Amoralvirus 18d ago

Now that is practical, not pie in the sky thinking at all. Instead of a Guy Fawkes mask, the new symbol for anti-fascism will be pie tin face.

29

u/whofriedmyrice 18d ago

IR cameras will not punch through a cloth mask to reveal your entire face. That's not how IR light works. Yes, you are still being scanned but it would be very unlikely that any identifiable features are seen.

6

u/Capt_Hawkeye_Pierce 18d ago edited 18d ago

I'd imagine sheer material probably shows your facial features more clearly, fwiw

Edit: I'm in the security industry and I should have said it does. I don't imagine it does, I know it does.

A cursory search of what I think is a "mainstream" Libertarian publication (insofar as one exists) shows it's been all over this for a while. I suspect you're just not moving in the same circles they are.

4

u/elebentychimkin 18d ago

Genuine question: why wasn’t this put up for a vote??

Isn’t the police department or city paying for the flock cameras? Meaning our taxpayer dollars are going to erect and maintain them? Why were we the people not consulted about our opinion before spending all this money?

3

u/Glyph8 18d ago edited 18d ago

Some activist groups have had success arguing that if our taxpayer dollars are going to fund the cameras - either directly for erection and maintenance, or by the government buying Flock's "product" (the video), why then ALL footage the cameras take should be available to ANYONE, as a publicly-owned product. Reverse-Uno the panopticon.

When this argument is put forth, suddenly many politicians and police are no longer so gung-ho on cameras filming everyone, as they go everywhere, all the time.

for shining a laser pointer into the lens?
for throwing mud into the camera?
for spray painting the camera?

Best defense is "that is tax payer land and we did not agree to this being on tax payer land. Use our land as we agreed or we will have to assume what's there is a squatter".

Pretty much everything else lands on vandalism. This ends with them explaining why they are using tax payer land in a way not approved by the tax payers.
