I know I'm not the smartest person in the room, but I imagine if, for example, I use the local public library's internet to update it (and do it remotely by sitting outside the library, and switch locations at random) then my chances of getting busted are low. Of course, nothing is 100% safe, but neither is crossing the street.
- brudgers 2y agoProbably $100 wouldn't be enough to track you down. Maybe $1000 wouldn't. But how about $10,000? Or $100,000? Once you make enough trouble that using the library wifi might affect your risk, you've made enough trouble that it doesn't.

- getwiththeprog 2y agoTalk to local journalists. They would have ways of establishing the credibility of any evidence you have. If you really want to set up a blog, why not just an email address under any name and a free Wordpress blog?
- brudgers 2y agoThe mayor says to the police chief, find out who is doing this. Maybe a detective talks to the head librarian. Maybe the detective sets up a trail cam across the street. There's way more than $100k worth of resources available and full time employees with forty hour paychecks to work on it. There might be more rewarding hobbies than discovering that the world works in the same fairly predictable ways it always has. If this is really your mission in life, you need bulldog lawyers not technology. Hope is not a plan.
