It's a night you can freely walk round with a mask on

    Just don't forget to leave any electronic devices at home.

    You could just wrap your phone in tinfoil, but there is an exact way that you have to do it. If you have ever been somewhere remote without signal, your phone will nuke it's battery trying to find signal by increasing the antenna's power. You have to put it in airplane mode to save your battery. Not matter what you do, even turning your phone off, the antenna will be live sending some signal. The takeaway is that even with a hacky Faraday cage, your phone will try it's hardest to phone home and could win with a tiny tear in the foil.

    Honestly just easier to leave it at home. Or in your vehicle, assuming you didn't pass by the camera on your way, and leave it sufficiently far enough away. I doubt they can read RFID from cards yet, even at a close enough distance to cut the pole down, but might want to leave those at home as well.

    Why is it so hard for people to just leave their electronics at home?

    They've become so attached that they get anxious without them.

    "Oh man, I gotta park far away so it doesn't read my plates and info from the car... Well I've gotta bring my Galaxy watch so it counts all the extra steps I'll be taking."

    Looking at ICE, any night is.

    I really feel like you could astroturf MAGA rednecks into destroying flock cams with the right propaganda campaign. And probably a bunch of other shit they think they believe in. But there are conservative think tanks already engaged in this type of online propaganda pushing them in the other direction.

    All of their media makes up fears that they will be robbed, car jacked, shot, or have to answer to a supervisor of a different gender or race than you.

    Bullshit like flock cameras, more police, and ICE are obvious answer when their pea brains are soaked in fear hormones every waking hour.

    I also heard that people are focusing on a Spiderman costume in particular. It’ll be popular since the movie just came out and it has full face coverage. You can also order a size larger and wear extra clothes to hide your real body size.
