evacideYou can learn a lot of useful OPSEC lessons by examining the ways in which people get caught, so I'm just going to leave this right here.

Stinkie McPhee@evacide For one's personal health and well-being, make a habit of wiping handprints off things for cleanliness. Wear package handling gloves for safety and hygiene. Always wear a mask when not in your home.
For fun research, look into license plate flippers, which rental companies rivet their plates on, and where to buy novelty replica license plates. Also read about high-output IR license plate and interior lights. And how they can be beneficial when integrated into glasses and hats.

@evacide also plan your routes when you travel. It's not unusual to take different routes into and out of an area. I like travelling to a southern entrance to my nearby city, and leaves up north. But I live to the west. I also prefer to take alleys and back roads when I can. I always follow road rules and take my time, but I sometimes will drive around the block if I see something interesting This makes my drive more enjoyable.
stib@stib @evacide if you ride a bike it's good to repaint it in black paint. And to use commodity tires from a major brand.
Unfortunately, they are easy to steal, so if you were to wipe it down for cleanliness, and then leave it, say, under a bridge and outside of camera range, forget to lock it up, and walk away, nobody may ever see it again.

Pepperbike@Pepperbike @stib @evacide or trash picking one and fixing it up! I just did that with a 1984 Schwinn World Tour. Slapped on some Cheng Shin tires, Kool Stop brake pads, dribbled some lube into the cable housing, and it was good to go!
Ehay2kHave you seen the Chinese leaf trick to cover your license plate? The leaf is taped over the middle of the plate, preventing scanning. But if you get caught with a leaf taped to your license plate it's bad. So, they tie a thread to the leaf, and then to the rear wiper. If you activate the rear wiper, the thread pulls off the leaf. It's almost as if living in a police state gives you ideas on how to circumvent their surveillance....
@Ehay2k @evacide yep! Though cheaper and easier to implement, they're much easier to spot. It'll make you more conspicuous to bystanders, which decreases your personal privacy. Other issues with the leaf/leaves, it doesn't fully obscure the plate, which can also decrease privacy.
They can theoretically be useful if you need to, say, use a toll road or something.
