Oh you know I stay away from target, Lowes, etc.
I notice that lowes has flock cameras on the parking lots now.
Yup. Check out deflock.me for maps. Home depot too. I usually park in an adjacent parking lot if i have to use their shithole store.
those are probably just the ones that made the news, just figure if they happen to see a recording, that mustache, wig, or facial scar could be reasonable doubt on camera. Heck pirate some shows of Face Off and steal some cosmetic supplies and make it a family hobby to apply make up, shit now I sort of want to do that.
I would like to see the jury try to convict me with a facial scar from that person's time in the war, hit up the thrift shops to create the assembles and be tear away so can make quick getaways if they tried to grab you. Also stretches, stay limber, and dont forget your cardio
I've been focusing on the tech so much and haven't considered the old-fashioned ways. Thank you, wise stranger.
dont forget the tech either, i dont know how reliable this is, but seems like it would be something i would look in on if times ever got tough for me
While it is technically possible to scan radio frequencies used by Target's loss prevention (Asset Protection) teams, doing so is generally discouraged and comes with significant legal risks.Discussions on Reddit (such as on the r/lossprevention and r/amateurradio communities) highlight the following key points:Frequency Types: Target and other large retailers primarily use business-band UHF radios for internal communications, with known frequencies and configurations documented on RadioReference Wiki.Legal and Policy Risks: While merely listening to unencrypted store radio channels may not be explicitly illegal depending on your jurisdiction, attempting to transmit, disrupt, or use those communications to evade security is a federal offense.Corporate Surveillance: Target’s Asset Protection team relies heavily on sophisticated camera networks, floor monitoring, and centralized tracking. They often track habitual theft over a long period rather than relying strictly on radio chatter to identify suspects
Begaydocrime.com had some very interesting and useful info on Gatekeeper systems.
You can even buy the controllers for them on eBay.
Also, it may seem obvious, but leave your phone at home.
