| If I made an app that showed their locations and gamified knocking them out (subtly), would that get me in legal trouble? |

| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incitement#United_States If done obliquely enough... e.g., just making a tracker and having the ability for people to report broken cameras, you're probably fine in theory. In practice, this is a litigious society, so you'd want to build this anonymously. |

| The article already links to a website that shows their locations: https://deflock.org/ It does not gamify or otherwise encourage damaging them, which would be legally risky. |

| No need to damage the cameras, just place some balloons in front of them. |

| In a country where not attending a protest gets you 30 years in prison, and attending a protest where you set off a firework gets you 70, and where a government thug can pin you down and execute you on the sidewalk, and get recognized for his heroism and bravery... you tell me. |

| ▲ | vkou 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | The United States, the first two in Texas and the latter in Minnesota. In that bit, an unarmed man was murdered, the killers scatter like roaches, the federal police is covering for them, while actively preventing the state from giving the guilty a fair trial and a swift sentencing and imprisonment. (What they did is a state crime with a maximum penalty of life imprisonment, and also a federal crime that carries the death penalty.) | | |
| ▲ | parineum 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | > ... while actively preventing the state from giving the guilty a fair trial Interesting. | | |
| ▲ | vkou 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | Anyone with eyes can see that those killers are guilty. You don't need to split hairs on that, you can look at the video yourself. As anyone else, though, they constitutionally deserve a fair trial where the onus is on the state to prove that guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, before they can be sentenced. My assessment of their guilt has little bearing on the state's ability to do that. Proving that guilt would be trivial if the federal government weren't actively complicit, by preventing such a trial from taking place. There's no need to cover for it, it's behavior is unconscionable and treasonous. | | |

| Make it a web app and host it in a different country? Probably also depends on the mechanics of the game though as well.. |
