Leave your cellphones at home, mask up, wear gloves, cover your tattoos / apply temporary fake tattoos, park WAY off site / don't take any route to or from that exposes your license plate to cameras (like turnpike's, etc).

I wonder if it would be possible to create endless false positives for these

AFAIK they have car mounted ones now that pop up on the laptop in the police car. I would imagine that anything you could do would also be flagged by the cop driving behind you.

I was thinking like an LED display that just shows random sequences of plates on the side of the road. Basically to poison the data. Ex: "It says your car went to california and new jersey in the same day"

Color E-Ink to look more natural.

Poison ur life w/prison

IDK if illegal to wear license plate on back and walk on road shoulders but prob doesn’t matter for jail purposes

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Well at this point they're going to arrest people for complaining about tariffs. Might as well do something to deserve it.

no prison time if you don't get caught

That technology is necessary! How else would we have such efficient repo guys?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Would kinda be funny if everyone had plates that were registered to teslas.

delete your car

Leave your smartwatch at home, use short range radio/lora, change your clothes half way there, consider using disposable shoes, bring cash for things like food and water, mirror sunglasses…

Anyone else?

I typically just use my cybernetic surrogate for protests. It's customizable like Mr. Potato Head, so I currently have it configured to look like the adult love child of Bruce Willis, John Travolta, Nick Cage, and Kristi Noem.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

Pretty sure that would just look like Mr. Potato Head

If I get sleepy I’ll just take a nap in your butt flap.

Pull the fuse to the telematics/SOS/cellular radio on your car. Don't bring any health trackers or airtags. No Bluetooth anything. If you have a toll transponder, remove it from your car. Probably should disable the Bluetooth in the car as well, wifi as well if it has it. Anything that can broadcast a beacon can be tracked.

Ride a bike

Bring something for self defense.

Violent incidents like

An asshole driving in to a crowd of protesters

Masked men claiming to be police snatching people up off the street

Helping Netanyahu commit genocide

Pulling Ukraine's pants down by denying them support while Russia bends them over

Okay please don’t make me picture Zelenskyy naked while I’m pissed at the world. You’ll ruin that sexy image for me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

You can buy spike strips and caltrops, just fyi 😇

This is excellent, however I do wonder if there are similar protests for Trump considering he's the one who's given Melon Husk the green light to do all this. For those on the country, could you enlighten me?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The next big one is Hands Off on the following Saturday, April 5th. It will be in every state capital and major city.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Non-violent.. meh invite me when we're ready to burn shit down. Shits not changing until then.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Really feeling the energy from over here. I've shared it with my cousins who are in San Diego.

First Laddy Melon Husk, withering, withering…
