If the police can spy on us, we can spy on them. Legally, that is.

    That’s true. Case in point: the guy who made the mistake of running a Tor exit node and was convicted of distributing child porn. I am in no way condoning such actions. I’m just sharing tools that can help us to be more aware of our options if/when we are already being targeted.

      Oh for sure, I just wanted to point it out, because even the best advice can be laced with questionable or truly bad advice. Especially when confounding factors aren’t taken into consideration when sharing the advice.

      Also just sort of as a warning to anyone who might want to try it, I suppose. If you are a moderately well-off white woman (arguably among the safest demographics re:police) this might work better than, say, a black or Latino man.
