Stay home

 

There’s not much you can do about the cameras posted at every intersection in some cities, in the bank, the 7-11, or the mall. The best you can hope to do is stay out of their field of vision. The easiest way to do that is to simply stay home. If you don’t go outside, they can’t catch you on tape.

Of course, that’s not really practical for most people. So you can also choose to be a little crazy. Get yourself a pad, pencil, and detailed map of your hometown. Keep notes on the locations of cameras and their fields of vision. You can minimize your exposure by planning your routes around those cameras. It’s not a simple task, but it can be done.

The same tactic can be used for businesses you frequent. Track the placement and sight lines of all the cameras you can see. There will often be blind spots in CCTV set-ups. Stick to those blind spots as much as possible. You’ll look like a maniac shuffling around the edges of rooms, but at least you’ll stay reasonably anonymous.
