That's why we need to normalize and promote Jury Nullification.

You know when they say "No jury will convict him?"

We need to make that real, and a really common, thing.

It probably is but there's no more rule of law over there. Otherwise Trump would be in prison 10x over at minimum.

Because working inside the system has been going so well for the past few decades. I don't advocate for violence or illegal direct action, of course, but this is clearly a response to the fact that our conditions have been worsening despite the majority being against so much of this surveillance state bullshit.

You never improve the conditions of your citizens, only worsen, and ignore any calls for what the people want and you get desperate folks who feel they have nothing to lose.

Remember how folks responded to Luigi Mangione. I have a feeling there will be more and more of that vibe until something truly changes.

How much does it cost to hire a cult leader?

I think he was caught on camera ironically.

I'm now realizing this comment was probably self-evident lol

If it helps; batteries are batteries and solar panels are solar panels.

Hope he was smart enough not to get caught on returned hardware

I was thinking that too....

Yes. And remember that some of these things also track your phone (I believe via Bluetooth and the like). So I would suggest leaving any valuables at home where they're safe!

turn off bluetooth and put your devices in airplane mode when doing so

get grapehene or /e/os

and wear heavy duty work gloves, a hair cap, and a large hoodie and mask to cover your frame and structure

More effective? No. Less likely to get caught? Yes.

If you leave the device in place and just laser the sensor, you’re leaving a device that can log passing device info that still works. It can’t record license plates, but it can see that a person walked/drove past.

On the other hand, if you blind it, then steal it while it’s properly faraday caged, you can let it sit and die for a couple days till it’s safe to dismantle.

You'd have better luck with a paintball gun. You'd be well out of its visual range and you could just pepper the lens with paint. I mean it's not perfect but you're way less likely to get caught.

The grease sucks

No one ever employ this user in medicine or food service.

You've never worn gloves for anything but crimes? How do you clean? Fuck off with your 'nothing to hide' bullshit. What's the best boot seasoning?

There's Crime, and there's "crime." This is "crime."

You still don't want to leave fingerprints. No sense in giving them MORE evidence.

pretty sure this counts as destruction of "public" property
