Turns out the current administration is not huge on accountability. I’m shocked.

the ACLU Mobile Justice app does thisHoly shit they shut it down a month after dorito stain took office what the fuck

Yeah. The current best option is probably a regular video + cloud sync like Google Photos.
Or YouTube live
That app has been junk for several years. I think there was a change in permissions in one of the Android versions that made it useless, they never updated it.

They’ve already had devices to capture cellular connections for a while now, I’d imagine jamming bands would be even easier.
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.
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

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.

“There’s no corruption here”, said the corrupt regime.
What do you mean? They obviously have nothing to hide…
It was just so inconvenient having to remember to cut them off before flagrantly breaking the law
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.
Turns out it shows more evidence of corruption.
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.

You should’ve anyway. Redundancy is best.
Especially since they regularly refuse to release body cam footage.
I don’t need my computer to refuse to provide data before backups are a good idea.
If asked about how DEA agents died, people will say “Dunno”, and there will be no camera to say otherwise.
Body cams were never a solution to anything. I remember multiple police murders recorded on body cams were the officer was acquitted by the jury. Police murder is basically legal in US*. Recording it doesn’t change anything. As for police brutality in general they simply learned to shout “stop resisting” when beating people up. Without basic accountability the recording are useless.
*It’s enough if police officer thinks he is in danger to make killing legal. Pretty much if he’s scared he can shoot. Body cams can’t prove he wasn’t scared.
There’s a reason some cops turn off their body cams before certain encounters, it’s because some places do hold them accountable. At least there’s a public record
There’s always a small chance police officer will be held accountable but in vast majority of cases the system simply doesn’t work. Body cameras are part of that system. They are used to create evidence the police can control and use in their favor. In most cases they simply hide the recordings (https://www.propublica.org/article/how-police-undermined-promise-body-cameras?c_src=33685809.57194).
Well yeah, now they can plant evidence against people opposing the ruling administrations policies.
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.
Well they’re going to go with the ‘a cops word is always believed’ crap.
Not if you don’t leave any cops to testify.
It’s so you won’t see them sprinkle crack on the dead black man like Salt Bae.
In darkness freedom dies.
