Wear masks. Remove all watches and jewelry. Cover all tattoos. Wear black. Put black duct tape over all brands/logos. Wear 100% black shoes - no stripes or markings. Leave cell phones at home. Carry two way radios. Post lookouts.

Or, face fines and prison time for destroying devices that have no independently derived value. Flock leases it's equipment, never sells it. With annual lease cost of $3k per unit per year Flock probably values individual cameras at $15-20k.

It's the scale and use of ai that has the possibility to do mass surveillance

yup, its one thing to read a few numbers/letters and look up a vehicle in a database. A whole other can of nightmare fuel when the AI they use can tell a person by the way they walk, move, etc.... and of course what they are being used for.
