These people got caught because someone found their car and thus license plate.
Another had left a fingerprinted bottle that went missing when watching surveillance footage.
And then were able to confirm after finding the same outfit from the surveillance footage.
The lessons to be learned are to not use cars anywhere near the scene, leave no trace, fingerprints or digital evidence, including a phone, and make sure any recognizable clothing is well hidden, or even better thoroughly destroyed.
Oh and don’t post anything on social media.

I hate how much effort is put into property damage but when my house was broken into or when my friends truck was stolen, the police did nothing.
It’s also disturbing how hard it is to be anonymous. Crime or not, it gives me the creeps that anyone could probably track me down if they wanted.

The police are here to protect the owner class.

That’s how they got Luigi. They protect and serve the rich ass only.

Pretty sure that was supposed to say class, but it still works with the typo

Don’t think the feds were looking in into either of those things. Musk has a direct FBI line as a homescreen icon.

I take my dog for a walk in my neighborhood and walk by no less than 20 different camera setups, and those are the ones I actually notice. Paranoia has led us down the road to a post-privacy society.

Lol ya and all that video footage is owned by the company of those cameras, like Ring aka Amazon. They can access it at anytime and they can even give it to the police.

I have two sets of clothing I have specifically for protesting in simply because my normal attire would definitely single me out and make me easy to track.

Buy donation clothing. And by that I mean, buy protest clothing that you can easily take off and donate to a homeless person.
