You just need a cheap esp 32 LoRa board with tiny antenna. You can find it all for pretty cheap. Power it via usb. You then use your phone or computer to access it and send messages. There’s a learning curve to using it. It’s been hit and miss for me in regards to messaging other people in my city. I think it would be great for telemetry in regards to other uses for it.

The taxpayer may foot the bills, but there are options to add other stipulations to any potential settlement in addition to a monetary award such as people getting fired, mandatory training with all the local police regarding the first amendment and so on. Hopefully something like that can be rolled into any litigation.

That’s the story of my 20’s
