    So you protest the ubiquitous surveillance a bunch?

    Often?

    Ever?

    Yeah. Never. You’ve never once gone out on the real ones taking the piss out of you every fucking day. Never.

    But this has you up in arms.

    To put things succinctly, I’m not convinced mate.

      I have no idea why you’re making assumptions about me with literally no context. I’m heavily involved with activism locally, but it’s more in the area of direct action rather than protest, because protest is a waste of time.

      Anyways, I haven’t been involved in anti-surveillance action, because it would be illegal to damage CCTV cameras, to cover them with paint, or to glue plastic bags over them. Lasers can be dangerous and people shouldn’t buy high powered ones from China. Fortunately lasers aren’t really good at permanently damaging cameras, but it’s still hazardous to use them to blind CCTV cameras, especially while disabling them with another method, because someone might get hurt or you could cause damage to the cameras.
