Nice try, fbi!

I haven’t gotten a ticket in years, but I think the absolute cheapest tickets are over $100, speeding will be somewhere between $180-300 depending on how much over you were going, and the really big boys like repeated no insurance or passing school busses can climb to $500-1000.

Unless your e-ink display has some pretty magical properties, it’s going to be spotted by a cop at random sooner or later, whether that’s at a traffic light, on the highway behind you, or even if they just roll by at a parking lot.

Plus, I can assure you that the technology to instantly alert if a car shows a registration for, let’s say a blue honda, but looks like a red ford, has been around for longer than flock has been in the news. It’s why that shit with texas temporary license plates was such a big deal (you’d see them everywhere throughout the continent). Unless you have a way to know what other cars similar to yours have for their license plates, you’re going to get nabbed. And most places make your switching thing a pretty big deal as far as punishments go.

I think we must have had very different experiences in life. I think the only fetish I ever hear about in the news in a ‘bad way’ is feet.

In the past two or three decades, I want to say there have been at least one or two stories per year about some cop in the area letting people off of tickets if they’ll let the officer lick their feet. We have incredibly large furry conventions, anime conventions, tattoo conventions, reptile owner conventions, and probably more that touch on various kinks and fetishes, but you never hear about any of those sexual shenanigans in the news… so feet fetish folks finding themselves featured on frontline feeds frequently from the news is quite the contrast.

It’s not fair! I want someone behind me right now! I can take or leave the evil, but give me that slightly looming, encircling hug from behind!

Aye, that’s the part that really worries me. Even evading JUST the flock camera isn’t enough. How many people have now contributed to the surveillance network, ring? How many non-flock cameras are out there that the government can access? I mentioned this in another flock post about how I became aware of license plate readers on the major roads five or more years ago, and police putting out license plate readers hidden in the speed displays a decade ago.

I know of the flock cameras near me, but even getting to them would be a minefield of other surveillance, and now there was that post the other day about law enforcement agencies getting waivers to do automated drone flybys/surveillance. Jesus fucking christ this surveillance state shit is bullshit.

Binga bango. One of the most important things to realize with microwave warming is that just like all (okay, probably most) other forms of heating, it works from the source of the heat (which is outside of the burrito) towards the matter being heated.

In the form of government horrors to curb protests, it means shooting microwaves at you and causing your skin to feel as if it is being boiled. In the form of your burrito, it means that the outside of the burrito will be blistering hot, and continue heating, and the heat has to slowly be conducted inwards. If your plate is not perfectly resistant to the operation of the microwave, it will also be getting hot, and since it is typically thinner and has less heat capacity (because most food has water, which has gargantuan capacity) than your burrito, it’s going to get a lot hot, very totly.

So yes, use the power settings to allow the heat time to work it’s way into your burrito and not fry the outside to death while causing your plate to consider whether today’s a good day to go molten.
