Conservatives have already said that they want to inspect children’s genitals, so it’s only a matter of time until they start arguing that they want to regularly inspect women’s genitals as well to “protect unborn children”
What we need is a phone mode that disconnects from the cell network periodically when not in use, then bounces back up to check for notifications. Obviously this mode wouldn’t be good for people who need to be available by phone, but who calls nowadays? ;)
Your survival kit:
Empty GrapheneOS Pixel 6a bought with cash that isn’t your daily driver (last Pixel with snapdragon chip that allows IMEI changes)
JMP.chat
Silent.link
Sensors off (developer options)
Bluetooth/WiFi/NFC off
Offline maps/airplane mode when navigating
Infrared AND polarized license plate covers
IR blocking lens sunglasses for facial recognition
And of course, it wouldn’t be complete without the tor browser over a trustworthy VPN
So yeah fuck the police
Until you get pulled over for those plate covers.
They are visible from behind with the naked eye and are pretty low profile. There are “tinted” covers from amazon that don’t actually protect you from cameras and look WAY more suspicious. At least the ones I’ve used, there has never been a problem. I actually got pulled over one time after an 8 hour drive from St. louis to Atlanta. I arrived at about 5am and forgot to turn my headlights back on after filling up with gas and a cop followed me and pulled me over. Mind you, I had a $300 bag of cannabis products from a dispensary in the trunk (reason for the trip + housesitting for free room and board for a month). It freaked me out a little bit, but he said nothing about the plates and let me go. I don’t know if he noticed. If it scares you that much just make sure you have good situational awareness on the road. Even if you do get pulled over for the plates it’s just a fine.
Regardless, it is illegal in most (all?) states to obscure your plate in any way, and they can ticket you if they feel like it. It’s a “reason” to pull you over… sounds like you just got pulled over by someone who wasn’t an asshole.
I don’t know how the laws work regarding this outside the states though.
Well it’s time for everyone to do their civic duty and drive by an abortion clinic once or twice a month and sit in the parking lot for 5 or 10mins to fuck up their data.
