            Signal jammers are available for purchase online and depending on purpose are affordable and compact.

            That said; often they are illegal for civilians.

            I feel like if you found a way to do a mesh net (ive been really into Meshtastic as of late, but the data throughput of LoRA would not cut it), and have other members of the mesh sync the file (encrypted and compressed) that would work. Share the unlock code with a friend or a small group, that way you always have backups on other people’s devices.

              I also, too, find lora Radio to be interesting. I think it has many applications to deal with tyranny. I could see them outlawing it at least for civilians.

                Lora is in the 915mhz ISM band in the USA. This part of the spectrum is full of high power transmissions, Lora runs on such low power that it’s signals are pretty much below the noise floor. The FCC doesn’t have the teeth to regulate what they already are supposed to regulate, they aren’t going to bother with Lora. As far as communicating doing anything illegal or soon to be illegal shit, Signal is more reliable.

                All wireless technology would be a game of cat&mouse anyway, they cant jam everything, the product would just have to be developed to take advantage of multiple open or common parts of the spectrum, like the 2.4 or 5 ghz ranges used by wi-fi.

                All hypothetical, im not a product designer nor an engineer who would be able to design the specifics.

              I would wonder if there’s a self hosted option out there for video streaming (there’s this?) that you could set up to mirror with a few friends, that way if your home every gets searched you’ve got a friend with copies that can get it to a journalist/lawyer

    Mob rule. And not the angry crowd of people type. The Organized Crime type.

    America is going to resemble every 1990s russian gangster’s wet dream in half the time.

    With them being able to turn it off at any time they felt like it anyway, it’s not like body cameras were fulfilling their (dishonestly) stated purpose of improved transparency.

    Still a very bad sign that they no longer feel the need to even PRETEND to care, though…

    A reminder to all that if there is no body cam footage when there should be, that is reasonable doubt. You have to assume the officers did the worst actions possible, and did so maliciously.

    If asked about how DEA agents died, people will say “Dunno”, and there will be no camera to say otherwise.

    Citizens should up their shooting of DEA agents in response. Who’s going to see without the body cam? Seems American institutions need to go back to learning by trial and error.

    The wealthiest nation on the planet has to abandon accountability to save a few bucks.

    Clown country.
