FBI uses facial recognition technology, online photos to identify and arrest ICE Portland protester The criminal complaint lists a pink gas mask and a forearm tattoo as distinct clues that led investigators to use third-party software to help make an arrest.
“Technology has transformed the act of being in public,” Crump said. “People who engage in political protests need to understand that it’s very difficult to do that anonymously.”
Since June, 23 people have been arrested on charges connected to ICE protests in Southeast Portland.
Always wear non-descript long-sleeve black shirts. Loose fitting and easily moved in black pants. Non-descript black face-mask. Non-descript black safety sunglasses. Non-descript black gloves. Make sure tattoos or other identifying marks are covered. Never take off your mask. If you can, the best option is to thrift these options and buy them with cash.
Temporary tattoos can help confound identification.
There’s also gait detection, so maybe wear something like platform shoes or tight pants? I’m not entirely sure how to counter that
Butt plugs
Smart butt plugs that scramble their face detection software.
Hypothetically speaking, one can put a pebble or small object in their shoe to force oneself to change their gate
I think I’ve heard putting a rock in your shoe is effective, though obviously not comfortable.
Walk with a limp and be consistent.
Wear a butt plug?
Most don’t change the way you walk if your ass is a veteran.
Ok, remove the buttplug, then.
3D ass chess
That’s easy to say, but it’s also easy to forget to limp if you’re focused on something else. Maybe you have to run from riot cops.
Keyser Soze did it, so can you.
Cory Doctorow says put gravel in your shoes. Yrmv
Just one shoe
I heard walking with umbrellas will confuse gait detection but idk if true
Surely a white surgical facemask is more generic.
Buy it from Goodwill and throw it away at the dump later
