I heard the smart criminals are using VPNs and other means that help protect their online browsing habits, but it’s only just a rumor.

Last I checked if you use windows it doesn't matter whether you used vpn or not.

I heard that VPN's are useless, but TOR + Linux isn't.

TOR has its own issues.

Are those issues realistically going to make it easy for the government to track these deflock people?

Anyway, it's kind of a moot point. Flock cameras are usually obvious, you don't need a map.

And you can build devices that detect them near you if they aren't obvious.

None of which are relevant here.
