@pluralistic I wonder what they’d think if some regular dude rolled up in his van doing this on his own rig.

@pluralistic By the time one is able to read what the sign says on the van, it's kinda too late to "opt out"...

@dacmot @pluralistic I have no good reason to believe such a thing, nor do any passers-by. This is one of the problems with surveillance.
