There's also gait detection, so maybe wear something like platform shoes or tight pants? I'm not entirely sure how to counter that
Butt plugs
And face plugs to scramble their butt detection software
Gotta have airtight opsec.
Hypothetically speaking, one can put a pebble or small object in their shoe to force oneself to change their gate
Walk with a limp and be consistent.
Wear a butt plug?
Most don’t change the way you walk if your ass is a veteran.
Ok, remove the buttplug, then.
3D ass chess
That's easy to say, but it's also easy to forget to limp if you're focused on something else. Maybe you have to run from riot cops.
Cory Doctorow says put gravel in your shoes. Yrmv
Just one shoe
Keyser Soze did it, so can you.
I think I've heard putting a rock in your shoe is effective, though obviously not comfortable.
Has anyone ever been successfully prosecuted based on gait?
Surely they will prosecute in a legal manner, surely the fascists will follow the law.
ok but that's paranoia, who's to say your faked gait won't get someone else hanged then?
gait isn't proof of identity, if they're gonna do that they can just round you up anyway
I heard walking with umbrellas will confuse gait detection but idk if true
