This conspiracy theory is so fascinating to me because it gets more and more elaborate as time goes on. At first it was “Luigi was framed because they needed a culprit fast” now it’s this giant spy movie plot. This is nearing QAnon levels of stupidity. Why is it so hard to believe someone just got driven crazy by the sheer absurdity and cruelty of our medical system and finally snapped and shot someone? Why does it have to be this massive plot involving corporate assassins and shit? Is it just because the pictures of the suspect were grainy and at a weird angle so they don’t look exactly like other pictures of Luigi, and everything else is to explain why he was arrested and why his lawyers haven’t used this stuff in his defense?
I think the biggest issue is this guy was smart enough to not show his face, have preset places to swap bags/etc., yet gets caught with the gun and other identifying things on him multiple days later.
It all just seems so weird.
Also, Im probably not caught up on everything, but without the evidence they found on him there isn’t even really a case.
This article about tracking people using WiFi caught my eye. And Apple somehow enabled facial recognition while wearing a mask during Covid. I’m sure the various national security agencies already have access to countless similar technologies that we won’t know about for a least a decade.
I just don’t think it’s all that far fetched to believe they just tracked this guy across multiple states. Maybe they did plant the evidence, that’s something cops have been doing for many years.
Apple didn’t enable facial recognition with a mask during COVID.
At first it didn’t work with a mask, then they changed it so that it went to the passcode screen.
Next they allowed it to unlock if you had a mask on and Apple Watch.
Finally they reworked FaceId to allow unlocking with a mask by making it focus more on the parts of the face it could see, although this was less secure and a compromise for convenience.
“If you’re wearing a face mask or potentially other face coverings, Face ID with a mask can analyze the unique characteristics around your eyes. When using Face ID with a mask, you can still use Face ID to authenticate apps, unlock your iPhone, and use Apple Pay.”
While there are a lot of crazy ways to identify someone, most of those only work in ideal or repeated situations.
For example Iphones faceid requires special cameras and for you to scan your face with the cameras before it can work.
Its obvious from the videos and photos of the incident that there isn’t quality footage of the events, meaning the quality of any tracking software is greatly degraded (otherwise we could solve all crimes). Since all tracking/identification software works on probabilities, that’s not a strong case to make that you’ve ID the right person.
Maybe the iPhone thing is a bad example, but I do think there are probably spy satellites up there that could count the hairs on your head if they wanted to. I’m not saying these agencies are efficient, or even marginally effective in the most general sense of the word, but I believe they could accomplish mind-bending feats when focused on a singular enemy of the ruling class.
And anyway, you’re making these assessments of the technology in the context of what’s available to the consumer. The crux of my argument is that we’re always at least one, maybe several, decades behind the military industrial complex.

You must know something Apple doesn’t.

Which is what I said. It focuses on other areas and is less secure.
Yeah I worked there during this period.
I don’t think personal device security would be an issue when illegally tracking a fugitive…
