That's right. Taking out flock cameras? No you didn't. People with kids shoplifting in a store? No you didn't Someone sabotaging a data center? Or stealing books fom a data center? Nope. Erecting a banner against Fascism? Uh-uh you did not.
And you also didn't see anyone suggesting the Knipex 7101200 since it has the strength to cut the retaining bands in one motion with the size to fit in a pocket or boot. And don't go mentioning hydraulic rebar cutters that can easily attach to 10 foot poles and be actuated with cable or fishing line from the ground.
my comment was meant for humor. and for the record, wearing a uniform or ICE jacket is not impersonating an officer. If it were, a lot of younger females would be in trouble on Halloween. It's only impersonating an officer if you are presenting yourself as an officer trying to enforce laws. Or in the case of ICE, presenting yourself as someone who can legally kill you for no other reason than they wanted to.
Yes and No. Try to avoid identifying features, but the more people see of these the more comfortable others are gonns feel to do the same. And the more it gets repeated.
We want the excitement and mania of this moment to hit viral frenzied critical mass on Halloween..
I suck with computers. But couldn't someone blur identifying info out in someway?.. shoe and apparel brands faces etc?
It was really impressive seeing that North Korean lady climb that lamp post. Why, she must have been north of 500 pounds easily and wearing orange spray tan. Furthermore she was missing both her left leg and right arm and still handled that bolt cutter like a champ! I remember it like yesterday, its a hard thing to forget you must understand.
My friend was a Ranger, that started out in the first Golf War, and he told me almost the same thing. With a clipboard and fast pace, motherfuckers will go out of their way to AVOID you.
Many young men never returned from the bunkers of the first Golf War. Out in the rough, just empty bags and overturned carts as far as the eye could see. Not one flag was left standing.
I've been installing/uninstalling traffic counters on hydro poles weekly for my local municipality for about 3 years now. Mainly for traffic studies and traffic calming applications. Half the time I don't even wear a vest because I'm off the main road and I'm usually driving my personal car. Only people who ever ask are the odd resident wondering what the device does. Just act natural.
Only if you have a bucket truck and cones. And even then, cops and others will drive by and ask what youre doing. The trick is to act like youre supposed to be there. No one knows what company is contracted to do what work on what street in any random city in the country unless its a tiny 1 light town. Just wear proper PPE when you do it. There was a guy who stole something like 40 or 50 cameras from the red light cam program in NYC. Went with a bucket truck and his gf and just yoink
Step 3: threaten them with leaving. "Look pal, i am a contractor and i get paid either way. So if you tell me to fuck off im more than happy to drink beer on your dime the rest of the day. Can i get your badge number so i know who to throw under the bus?"
Fun fact, this almost exact thing happened once to me. Security guard said we couldnt be there, we laughed, got his name, and said "byeeee!" And still got paid. He was VERY sorry the next day
I walked into an Air Force Secure Datacenter back in the day just by holding a clip board, having a butt set on my hip and looking confused and annoyed.
When the high ranking guy noticed me, he called me and the person that let me in into his office. The enlisted guy got in quite a bit of trouble, but nothing serious. I was scheduled to be there (but had shown no ID nor was I asked if I was scheduled) so after identifying me, including calling my boss, I was allowed to go back and finish my work. I don't remember what rank either of them was at this point. It's been many years ago.
So go on camera unmasked with the bucket trucks plates in broad view for every street camera to see. The reason you even know that story is it’s the easiest way to get caught.
Covering your face is a dead giveaway. Better to learn some kind of hollywood makeup bullshit and put on some fake plates.
Also add some really bad stench to yourself as if you have not showered in weeks and got on the wrong end of several trash pandas. Helps "motivate" any curious police from sticking around and trying to get to the bottom of things.
At that point what will give you away is your vehicle so i guess something has to change shape or features on that too between "jobs".
Don't wear short-sleeve shirts like this. Wear long-sleeve and gloves, so you're not showing any identifying marks or skin. Wear different than your normal shoes, and wear plain, non-identifying clothing.
Just be aware you're likely already or soon be fighting the biggest AI driven, big data monstrosity that links things beyond any imagination. What was absurd CSI 20 years ago will soon be part of our reality
How does that impact the sensors you had all the way to the shop and back? Not even talking about cameras but the fun stuff like your Bluetooth. The time and distance to the cashier can be traced. It's possible to determine at exactly what moment you were standing where. Cash makes it just a slight bit more effort to search. Welcome to dystopia. It has arrived and the only point saving us is a conscious decision to not use it. Regulations that neither trump not tech Bros give a fuck about

Wearing an ICE jacket could get you a felony for impersonating an officer.
Wearing a hi-viz jacket will just make you blend into the surroundings.
