Rural and City Cloakers

I expect that when everyone knows what a cloaker is, there will be two distinct types, and one that simply doesn’t exist.

City / Downtown Cloaker: This is the most obvious cloaker. A high population density, combined with the presence of major corporations and businesses, as well as large gathering points means that inner cities will be where the most surveillance cameras will be located. The high density also means that getting quickly from A to B (by foot, scooter or bicycle) is quite easy to achieve.

Rural Cloaker: It is hard to cloak if you live in an area of low population. If you live at the end of a country road, and head into town with the licence plates of your pickup truck obscured, your neighbors will still know that it is you. And if you scoot around a small town with a mask on, you will attract attention. So if you live somewhere rural, cloaking will be more concerned with relationships with like-minded locals.

Suburban Cloaker: The worst of both worlds. Too far to get from A to B under your own steam, and too hard to network if locals. If you really want to have a life the authorities cannot connect with you, choose the city or country instead.
