So no, these fucking things don't contain almost $400 worth of gold or over an ounce of silver. And good luck strangling a horse with about 50 cents worth of copper wire.

These things contain exactly what anyone with even the most basic knowledge about electronics would expect them to contain: a giant battery, a camera module, and a few circuit boards. None of which are particularly valuable.

I also can't think of a single device that contains anywhere near the amount of rare metal the original post claimed, other than maybe some super-accurate scientific measuring devices that cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Anyways, as far as individual components go, the solar panel is probably the most valuable part of the whole setup. And unlike the camera, it doesn't contain a GPS tracker.

I am pretty sure its primary function is to add GPS to the metadata of the footage and to keep track where cameras have been installed.

But since these cameras are battery powered, this thing will keep broadcasting its position even after you disconnect the solar panel and take down the camera from its mount.

The Prairieland case is Federal case prosecuting 19 people with terrorism after a noise demo at an ICE detention facility in Praireland, Texas in July 2025. Most have been convicted and are currently awaiting sentencing after being found guilty on multiple federal charges. Towards the end of the noise demo an Alvarado police officer was grazed in the neck with a bullet. The Prosecutors claim this was a coordinated ambush by an “antifa cell”. In reality its a drag-net prosecution against loosely acquainted people. If the corrupt verdict of this case is not over turned it will set a precedent that participating in black a bloc is terrorism and can land you decades in jail. We support the non-cooperating defendants not because they are victims of a miscarriage of justice, but because we support all who fight back against domination. Punks have historically played an important roll in spreading and sharpening anarchy across the world. This tape aims to continue that legacy. We affirm that I.C.E. Prisons & Police must be destroyed. People, plants and animals must be freed from the claws of colonial civilization. Against the state, Against capitalism, Solidarity with anarchist prisoners now & forever.

Money raised from this compilation will go towards the legal fees of the Prairieland Defendants

ok, proton handed payment info over to swiss authorities, who then helped the fbi. if you start indiscriminately fearmongering about all proton services because of it (and implying that they can send more info than they have) then what are people switching to? people have to use email. not everyone is going to switch to tuta mail or whatever. but even if they did, they have paid plans too, which would likely be susceptible to the same issue. and if they decide, fuck it, there's no point, i'll just go back to using gmail instead, that puts everyone at way more risk than continuing to use protonmail.

it's also fine and good to say that people shouldn't be putting incriminating stuff in any emails. but we don't know that the fbi tracked them down through incriminating emails. they knew somehow that the account was associated with the stop cop city protestors, which could've very well been because their handle was stopcopcity at proton dot me or something. (i don't know if that was the case!) and then the payment information associated with that account was used to track someone down.
