You could troll them too, though. Tell a friend that you are taking out a large sum of money to pay for something. Travel using a rental car or by bus. Carry cards that say "don't spy on me" and hand them to the police officers when they come for you. Sue police for harassment. After all, they can't arrest you for saying what you want in private...

I think trolling is going to become an important part of our ecosystem before long, especially when it comes to fuzzing data miners and frustrating their data collection activities. Enough trolling and the system will be too expensive to follow up on.

Trolling guys with guns and a monopoly on violence seems like a bad idea to me.
You're no better then Russia then, just think of it. Only you don't enjoy the general public' understanding that the government is your enemy and friends must be protected from it.
While I like the principle... Expensive for who? The government hasn't ever really shown much concern for how much things cost.
