- ==DIDN'T SEE NOTHIN, DON'T KNOW NOTHIN: A SOCIAL FIELD GUIDE==
- A quick and dirty on social media etiquette in a protest setting + tips and tricks for how to avoid snitching on yourself and comrades.
- '''LIVE STREAMS'''
- These ever-recording streams have become a treasure trove for city, state and federal policing agencies. Many investigations have started and finished with information found on a well-intentioned livestream.
- This practice is actively sending people on our side of the barricades into the hands of the police, ICE, and prison industrial complex. Don't let yourself be a part of that process. Livestreaming during a demonstration is risky for you and everyone in your vicinity, because it timestamps everyone's whereabouts.
- Livestreaming is generally ill-advised, but if it must happen, it should be considered a continuation of "legal observing" and should only be used to document the police.'''
- Bottomline:
- No cops at the demo?
- Cops at the demo? Only film pigs and their use of force.
- '''PHOTOGRAPHS, VIDEOS AND SECURITY CULTURE OH MY!'''
- Presenting what transpired at a demonstration is important, but must be done carefully.
- Creating a culture of security and consent will help more people feel safe in the streets and therefore keep our movements growing.
- Blur the faces, tattoos, and any identifying signifiers''' of anyone in a photo you are about to post. If there are too many things that need to be blurred, your phot is not safe to post. The same goes for videos.

- '''DONT BANK ON HAVING NOTHING TO HIDE''''
- As civilians, we don't get to decide what is an "illegal" action–the police and prosecutors do.
- What you might think is not illegal, or protected under your 1st amendment rights does not mean it's safe to broadcast publicly.
- This is especially true for people who are injured and being arrested. You should consider it a breach of good security and consent practices to film those in either of these two vulnerable positions.
- If you do film an instance of police brutality or repression, offer the footage to the targeted person if possible, and send to legal support (NLG, Puget Sound Prisoner Support).
- '''PROTECT AND SUPPORT HIGH-RISK COMRADES'''
- Many people would like to attend demos, but the fear of a photograph getting in the hands of their probation officer, and ICE agent, their parents or bosses prevents them from participating.
- __'''The state's current requirement for civilians to wear masks creates a unique opportunity for high-risk comrades to join the street movement'''__–don't take that away from them so you can get a good photo.
- '''TAKEAWAYS'''
- Your livestream might send someone to prison, is it worth it?
- When you stream, film, or photograph, you are proactively creating evidence. Do not document unless you are prepared to sufficiently anonymize and scrub media.
- Anonymity is a vital necessity for many of our comrades. It's your responsibility as the person documenting to respect those needs.
- Security culture is a practice we engage in at all times to keep us and our movements safe and growing. We cannot win without it.
