You 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.

How Three Alleged Tesla Vandals Got Caught

Automatic license plate readers, Instagram captions, and fingerprints.

@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.

@Stinkie @evacide

Have 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.
