@LevZadov @SeanPLynch @pluralistic "CV dazzle". There's been some success.
@crazyeddie @LevZadov @SeanPLynch @pluralistic You can also paint additional eyes, mouths, and noses, all over your face. Or make some reusable face stickers if you don't want to spend hours on your makeup every time.

@pluralistic I recall an old time radio scifi story where folks would put on their "public face" before leaving the house... I assume they were dealing with this surveillance BS.

*Of course* this is in the UK.
Could the english have a cultural control kink? They began the panopticon cctv crap looong before anyone else, doubling down without a blink ever since.
might be that monarchy 'god save our hereditary ruler' stuff is behind their ingrained submissiveness to authority, idk? Kinda rubbed off on a lot of their lost colonies too, I mean look at the US these days, just squawking, all while knuckling under while the noose of fascism tightens

Those of us who don't wish to be facial recognized should just wear Groucho Marx glasses at all times.@Guillotine_Jones @pluralistic If those are Reflecticles, that would work. If only you could get Google or Meta glasses with Reflecticle frames instead of Raybans.

@pluralistic So if there's no other way to get to the other side of the street and I literally work at the end of the block, do I tell my boss I won't be in today because the only way I can opt out is to not go to work?

@pluralistic Why is everyone acting like this is a new thing?? Been going on for like 20+yrs now, at least here in the US. This is a result of what started in the name of "protection" not the beginning.

How long before they ditch the signs and start using cameras that look just like all the other cameras which are everywhere? Six months? Ten years?
@kbal @pluralistic They've probably been doing this for a few years now, and this is just a "Hi, how are you?"

@pluralistic I wonder what they’d think if some regular dude rolled up in his van doing this on his own rig.
@manchicken what makes you think this is an actual police van and not just one painted as such?
