But no, that's silly. The folks running these protests are the same population that's been protesting law enforcement in other contexts forever, and ACAB is a founding principle. They know as a matter of unshakable faith that the fuzz will cheat and lie and commit atrocities, and the the paradigm of the protest is to catch them in the act.

So failing to apply that to your IT work is... bad praxis, sorry. The one argument I can see here is if they actually wanted to get caught to troll an article just like this one. Which would make the operator in question a martyr and not a dummy, I guess.
