You will be arrested for harassing, stalking, and public misconduct (misfeasance primarily), and if that’s not the case, the same legislators will make a new law just for that! It’s a one way justice system, laws apply to the majority but the select few get a pass with all loopholes implemented by the same few.

Possibly charged, but extremely unlikely to have a conviction stick if done intelligently. It would be a pretty massive Streisand effect, and almost certainly covered under first amendment protections. Anyone can publish a livestream of anything visible from public by the naked eye. Why would using machine vision on that livestream to highlight public officials change anything. It’s literally the same laws that let flock operate, and exactly what they and other ALPR companies are already doing silently.

  They’ll use whatever laws they can and you’ll get imprisoned. They don’t play by the rules. They’ll just ignore that you were doing that for a political purpose and call you a pervert or terrorist or something. You can’t think your way out of authoritarianism with intelligence.

      OK so explain how it’ll be okay with you being arrested, spending tens of thousands on lawyers, and probably losing your job and having strangers think you’re a criminal. It won’t just be fine, thousands are arrested for bullshit every day and their lives are ruined, you’re extremely naive if you think otherwise. Your comments are literally just wishful thinking, get a fucking clue. Smart people are being violently detained and assaulted by the law every single day.

        I haven’t made any of the claims that you are asking me to defend or explain. So I can’t address that strawman. Sometimes protest must cost the protester something to prove a point, if not - as you point out - many people will be violently detained and assaulted by the law without restraint. Civil rights protesters for generations have known that getting beaten and unjustly charged are probable short term outcomes while long term justice is on the way. They weigh that they are willing to endure that for the greater good. Yielding to powerful people and injustice because it is unjust is a choice that you can make, but don’t call other people wishful thinkers that need to get a “fucking clue” for being willing to do the thing that you are fearful of.

In the meantime, you will sit in jail, pay money to lawyers, and possible wind up in El Salvador if you really pissed somebody high enough off. But, sure, feel free to organize it yourself, please. We would all benefit from your actions.
