    I watched videos of the FBI and their technology, but apparently all it takes to avoid them is to leave your phone behind, cycle with monopoly money and wear common inconspicuous clothing that covers you up? The fuck happened

      It turns out most if not all of the advanced policing technology that gets touted is, you know, lies. They just want you to believe you can’t get away with it. Just look at how many godawful propaganda CSI shows there are - how often do they rely on magic databases containing the location of every flower shop cross referenced by geolocation and joined to the magic database of endangered beetle habitat? That’s a real example btw, bones is a terrible show.

      Having worked with the police, the #1 way to get away with a crime is to just not tell anyone you did it. That’s it, that’s the whole secret.
