They are literally everywhere. I can’t go any place without being watched. I just want some privacy. The most alarming part is that they put cameras on all entrances and exits so they can know who’s entering or leaving. Why do they need to stalk me as I go about my day? The area I live in is overall pretty safe so I don’t see the justification.

I have also noticed that some people actually feel safe where there are cameras. I get that people can get scared but I don’t think creating a giant network of mass surveillance is the answer.

What is this dystopian future we have marched into.

I’m looking into some of the anti camera clothing tbh. But it isn’t fully effective, and it’s expensive as hell for something that shouldn’t be necessary in the firat place

Anti camera clothing can make you more of a target, since you’ll be wearing something that is less common, you’ll be easier to pick out from a crowd. Sure, it will prevent flash photography from being able to identify you, but most of the time it a flash is not used when taking a photo.

Im just kinda hoping it’ll be partially effective, even that tiny fraction.

I dress fairly distinctly anyway, so I’m not worried about standing out more, just sick of the idea of my face being recorded every fucking where.

I get it, I just wanted to clarify that anti camera clothing is mostly just anti camera flash technology.

I’ve seen bright IR emittors, that can oversaturate some cameras

Maybe you would feel less exposed wearing a hat or cap or visor. It wouldn’t make you invisible but you might find them less intrusive and eye-catching, since they’re usually high up.

Put IR LEDs under the rim of a ball cap, then put a few lithium pouches around the hats innerband. On film your face will be washed out making a definitive ID impossible. Since it’s an over exposure, even in a packed crowd youre still the brightest thing in film. So it hides you and exposes you at the same time.

In real life no one can even tell, so face mask.

You can overexpose yr license plates this way too, tho you could get charged for that, even tho, to a living person’s eye, nothing is obfuscated at all.

The move is to make a hat for everyone you know and just give em away. The more that are being used the safer our privacy is
