And the authority’s know exactly when and where that phone was purchased...even if you use cash.
They then review the security camera footage from walmat, and get pic of your face.
Or, failing that, they review other security cam footage of the parking lot, or any other camera within a 1/4 mile, and see what can you get into...and they have your license plate.
I’ve given this some thought, so here’s some additional precautions I would recommend.
1. First, go to a store and buy something with cash where you get enough cash back in change to buy the phone. Wear gloves, and do not allow the cash to come in contact with any of your DNA. Put it a new plastic bag. Keep it there.
2. Use an old car with no modern electronics/GPS system that can be tracked...make sure you park a few miles from the store well out of any camera coverage.
3. Enter the camera coverage area from a direction different from the location of the car.
4. Wear all black shoes, pants and long sleeve hoody, with hood up, with no markings on them.
5. Wear black mask...the pandemic, don’t you know.
6. Wear dark sunglasses and gloves as well.
7. Get phone, pay with the clean cash.
8. Leave the camera coverage area in a different direction than you entered from, again, not in the direction of you car.
9. Remove battery from phone ASAP.
10. Never put the battery in the phone within 5 miles form your house, or any location or modern vehicle that might possibly be associated with you, or someone you know.
11. Go to remote area, use text only, or computer generated voice.
12. Dispose of phone in any large body of water that you can access without being in view on any cameras.
Only wild card here is satellites, but really not much you could do about that. You just have to hope they are not already on to you, and have already dedicated a satellite to track you.
you have thought this out very well...
that’s why i have turned you into the NSA.
