So here’s a fun fact. If someone is stealthy enough and is skilled enough at hacking, you are on your fucking own.
Cybersecurity companies won’t help you because they only work with other companies. You can try filing a report with officers and dunning and Krueger it good fucking luck getting anywhere with that.
Being under police shouldn’t really worry anyone who isn’t doing anything illegal who has half a brain cell, it’s literally anyone else who wants into your shit that you need to worry about.
until they make something you do illegal just for the sake of targeting you and/or your group. shit, a lot of people do illegal shit without even knowing its illegal.
and don’t forget that using encrypted messaging services is likely to be illegal soon in the EU
Found the “have nothing to hide” person.
I don’t.
But I do think you may be reading something here I’m not trying to say.
And have zero inclination for any fucking brain dead fascist wannabe to see any of it.
My privacy matters a lot to me and I go through… not as great a length as some to safeguard it but far, far, more than most and no motherfucker has a right to a single fucking byte of data I don’t consent to them having.
My point is more that any local police force is going to be pretty much incompetent, which means that not only would any attempts of their to monitor a relatively tech savvy person be fruitless if you have even an inkling of it, and this incompetence also means you’re on your fucking own if anyone savvy really wants to get into your shit too.
Pardon me, but this sounds like ‘I’ve got nothing to hide’ or ‘Don’t be an enemy of the state.’ Daily I could inundate your email with example after example of people who have been surveilled, but not doing anything illegal. Protestors, average citizens speaking out. In America we have rights to protest against our government. They weren’t doing anything wrong either except exercising their rights as an American citizen.
You see, governments like their own self imposed status quo. Everything and everyone in a nice neat little box, each sorted, collated, and stapled into their respective groups. Here comes Paula protestor and she may have an LGBTQ+ agenda. Personally LGBTQ+ rights are covered under ‘We the people find these truths to be self evident.’ In other words, duh! No explanation needed. How is Paula protestor seen by the government? She is seen as an adversary because she represents instability to the government’s self imposed status quo. If you speak out against the government, you are also seen as an adversary. etc et al
You don’t have to be doing something illegal to be surveilled.
Someone never read the book

Big difference between federal and local police.
But no, I haven’t read the book but I did read the title and you’ll hear no argument from me.
The difference is that you only see the local police. You don’t see the federal/state agents who’re working behind the scenes as part of a task force until you’re already in custody.
Yes.
