My Mastodon post about it & @[email protected]’s reply linking to OpenStreetMap’s documentation with an example to find banks far away from police stations

This is such a Lemmy-flavoured post, and I love it 😄
Unethical LPT, but it’s using a FOSS app and OSM, and it could be repurposed into something ethical as well
You will never lose the cops on a freeway.
You need to clear the immediate area fast, dump the known ride and switch into something else to clear the area, then ideally repeat.
This guy robs banks.
Used to be a dickhead street racer type idiot back before every business, street corner and cop car had a 4k security camera. I pretty much gave it up when people started recording everything on their phones and uploading it to facebook.
If the cops were far enough away that they couldnt have gotten your plates your only real option is to turn a bunch of corners to break line of sight then hide the car. I used to keep a car cover stuffed under the passenger seat. Get a few blocks away throw the cover over the car and walk away. Essentially the same thing Toretto tried at the beginning of the first F&F movie, running draws attention.
OpenStreetMaps for infrastructure would be unbelivably cool.
Does such thing exist?
Openinframap displays infrastructure from osm, just select the layers on the right side: https://openinframap.org/
I’m not sure what you mean. What info would it have?
Good luck, idk about California but in Texas the highways are covered in cameras, getting on the highway after committing a crime guarantees you’ll get caught eventually
Good thing there aren’t a bunch of easily stealable 90s Toyotas and Hondas all over the place. Be a shame if basically any key could operate their poorly designed and now very worn ignition switches.
I wish them all the best of luck.
Not to mention the location of surveillance cameras. This is very helpful to folks who actively work on dismantling the surveillance infrastructure.
