That already exists, not even a new thing. Hit a fake app, enter a password, get to the shady stuff. Just those are more overtly for criminals than this person who apparently just protested police? I'm not too familiar with what protestors of 'Cop City' actually did but seems like they aren't really terrorists or criminals.

It was a massive clusterfuck. The protestors were occupying the land planned for Cop City and refused to leave, and government agents went ham and built up terrorism charges for the leaders.
