It might become much harder to speed without getting a ticket in the future.

    If you’re driving to your protests you’re already an idiot.

    Fuck speeders. I don’t care about the surveillance considerations for licensed vehicles on public shared roads.

    Speed cams everywhere would be my preferred solution.

      “Haha fuck all those idiots who use the means of travel that has been foisted on them”

      I live somewhere where the infrastructure is completely built around the assumption of having a car. Everything is miles and miles apart, separated by nothing but highways and overpasses dotted with shrines to those who failed to cross them in time. I cannot overstate how much if you don’t have a car here, you are just stranded meat. This city is a temple to the automobile that would make every 1920s italian futurist cum immediately. Your options are to drive, uber or take the sometimes-running bus.

      Now, are there opsec problems inherent to all these approaches? Yes, but you start from what you have and build up, you don’t start at imaginary perfection and build down. What’s your realistic alternative for all these “idiots”, who live where the architecture itself is deliberately hostile to human life, let alone collective action? Pull a paramotor out of their assholes? You don’t care about opsec, you’re just looking for an excuse to justify and rationalize the decisions of your overlords in a way that lets you feel snidely superior to people with the chops to actually go out and do shit.
