Security and Anonymity Concerns about using Bitcoin ATMs

Do the ATMs have cameras? What keeps the footage from the security cameras in the ATMs from being taken and cross-referenced with facial recognition databases?

How would you know if the ATMs themselves are under surveillance or being monitored in any way?

Wouldn't LE be interested in potentially keeping tabs on people trying to buy BTC anonymously?

Not trying to spread FUD. Genuinely curious and wanting to make sure ATM usage wouldn't get me in trouble.

This depends entirely on the type of ATM. Some have cameras and require ID to purchase from, others don't. If you want to use a specific ATM you need to find out what type it is and research it.

I lucked out recently and found someone's drivers license that looks somewhat like me. I've been using that

Who cares? No one is going to give two flips about you and your $40 worth of weed.

I honestly don't think they could find out what you're even buying after spending the bitcoin sure they can see what wallets it was sent to and the amounts spent/traded but they sure as hell aren't gonna have a clue what you're buying..

They got honeypots inside. Use a burner and a nixon or reagan mask
