Leave your phone at home. Ride a bike or walk, don’t drive (defeats giar recognition, ANPR and in-car tracker software). ANPR cameras can also be disabled with black spray paint. Wear a hoodie. Use a VPN and an adblocker when you are online. Practice skeet shooting so you can shoot down drones. Also jam them if you can.
Despite the US constant vilification of China, they seek to have just as much control and surveillance over you. The ruling class would LOVE if they could control a population the way Beijing does. We already live in a surveillance state. We can adress it or let it get worse but both parties allow and encourage these policies.
I thought you could change your gait pretty easily by putting g something really uncomfortable like a rock in your shoe? maybe that was just Hollywood
An ankle weight is less damaging. I doubt if gait recognition is all that valid anyway.
