Praxis: GPS & Surveillence Video OPSEC Concerns

GPS leads cops to abducted Philadelphia woman
story here
Ladies and gentlemen. The whole point of this post is to remind you how easy it is for the police (local and national) to track and find you using video surveillance footage from spy cameras (which are everywhere)

spy cameras in Philadelphia PA

and the 'convenient' GPS (gobal positioning system) transmitters which are installed in many vehicles.
In the news story referenced above, a young Philadelphia women was apparently kidnapped by an older man. Police used surveillance video taken from where the abduction occurred on the street (yes Philly's one of those urban nightmare's where the police state has cameras everywhere to track you and I) in the Germantown area of Philly, electronically captured the suspect using the victim's ATM card at a bank a few hours later in another state, filmed the suspect making purchases in an unidentified (by the cops) convenience store two days later, and, after convincing the car dealership where the suspect purchased the car to 'turn on' the GPS locator in the car which enabled the GPS satellites to home in on his car

and captured the suspect (liberating the victim) in a parking lot late Wednesday 5 November in Jessup Maryland.
Now all this is great for the victim (she gets to go home at the end of her ordeal), great for the cops (they get to look like Captain America-like heroes), but not so great for the suspect (he got arrested, jailed (no bail), and is awaiting extradition by a Governor's Warrant from the state of Pennsylvania.
What does this mean for the average Patriot (you) who might wish to remain untracked by our police state?
#1: if possible, don't abduct someone within sight-angle of a surveillance camera. That's a seeming no-brainer yet at some point in the near future due to a crack down by the regime on us hypothetically it is possible that some of the more adventurous of us could be involved in kidnapping a regime thug for HUMINT purposes and then orderly disposal of same.
If the activity that you might engage in will be at a surveilled location see #2 thru #5
#2: use a disguise if at all possible. Does a disguise have to include a false beard and large-rimmed glasses? Nah. It could be something as simple as a baseball cap or a large brimmed floppy hat (don't look up of course) and clothes worn over the top of clothes which can be disposed of in a public trash can (see the film "The Next Three Days") when out of range of cameras. Disguise your vehicle. Smear mud on the license plate. Cover the car dealers name where you purchased the vehicle with a strip of tape. Gorilla tape works great. don't ask me how I know.
#3: don't use your (or someone else's) debit/atm/credit card. Use cash. Always.
#4: don't use a vehicle that has an enabled gps device. Consult with a Patriot mechanic on how to disable/remove a gps tracker device in a vehicle or use another vehicle or none at all.
#5: go low tech whenever possible. Instead of using your 'smartphone' for communications use a burner phone and only use it for your 'other' self (more on establishing your 'other' self in coming posts). Initialize it (turn it on) only when you will actually need it. Use it for the duration of the Op, then destroy it--remove the battery and destroy the chip and circuit board (see Matt Daemon in the "Bourne Identity").
