Do we have a good solution for public survaillence cams and Facial Recognition yet? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

So I had researched it a while ago and don't recall having found anything effective and non-suspicious to protect from public camera mass survaillence in cities and the like. Is there anything that is a good option for that yet, and if so, could you point me toward it?

It depends on the surveillance coverage. If it’s widespread enough, they can track you between your departure and arrival locations. You’d also need two more disguises for both entering and exiting.

And of course, if you have a cell phone on you that pings anything, the jig is up.

For the cell phones, faraday cage bags would be a solution.
