Fortunately gait biometrics are junk science anyway lol
As if that stops police from using it to target randos or prosecutors from using it in court. The executive branch REALLY loves its junk science.
If anything, that re-enforces quick_snail's point that all these individualistic anti-surveillance tips and tricks are pointless.
Even if you did succesfully change your gait and wear black and use a special phone and didn't attend the action they're accusing you of attending, they'll jiggle the random number generator until it says you're guilty (p<0.05).
There is a point in a surveillance state where it makes more sense to [REDACTED] fascists in plain view rather than waste energy trying to do anything subversively. Either follow the CIA manual on malicious compliance or blow up a pipeline, no real middle ground.
Machine learning is getting quite good at it https://www.sciencedirect.com/org/science/article/pii/S1546221824001802
Doesn't sound that good that changing clothes is one of the problems they are facing. What about different camera angles and heights in imaging that is an issue also.
Fuck. All us autistic people with the 14 pairs of the same items of clothes are gonna get screwed :(
