FBI uses facial recognition technology, online photos to identify and arrest ICE Portland protester The criminal complaint lists a pink gas mask and a forearm tattoo as distinct clues that led investigators to use third-party software to help make an arrest.

"Technology has transformed the act of being in public," Crump said. "People who engage in political protests need to understand that it's very difficult to do that anonymously."

Since June, 23 people have been arrested on charges connected to ICE protests in Southeast Portland.

Always wear non-descript long-sleeve black shirts. Loose fitting and easily moved in black pants. Non-descript black face-mask. Non-descript black safety sunglasses. Non-descript black gloves. Make sure tattoos or other identifying marks are covered. Never take off your mask. If you can, the best option is to thrift these options and buy them with cash.

There's also gait detection, so maybe wear something like platform shoes or tight pants? I'm not entirely sure how to counter that

Smart butt plugs that scramble their face detection software.
