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.
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.

Gotta have airtight opsec.
Has anyone ever been successfully prosecuted based on gait?
Surely they will prosecute in a legal manner, surely the fascists will follow the law.
ok but that’s paranoia, who’s to say your faked gait won’t get someone else hanged then?
gait isn’t proof of identity, if they’re gonna do that they can just round you up anyway
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.
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
Also, don’t post your face on social media.
That’s the hardest part, I guess.
Buy it from Goodwill and throw it away at the dump later
Surely a white surgical facemask is more generic.
I feel like black is better at hiding detail. Women’s slips are black vs white for example.
Black is traditional but someone will be in surgical blue
