A portable personal safety device or a method of doing business by providing appropriate services, networks, or the like for the device, which has a possibility or the perception of a possibility of being monitored by an entity outside of the user's control, is disclosed. Preferably the user either does not know whether or not this possibility is fulfilled, or can credibly deny knowing whether or not this possibility is fulfilled. The apparatus, in one embodiment, comprises a conspicuously concealing container with optical properties suitable for a video camera, the actual presence of which is, in at least one mode of operation, unknowable by the user, or can be credibly alleged by the user to be unknowable or unknown by the user. In one embodiment, the device affords the user with a nonconfrontational or collegial means of asserting fear of accountability, uncertainty, or doubt on persons exerting physical or other coercive force, or the threat or possibility thereof, upon the user of the invention. In another embodiment of the invention, actual or apparent user submissiveness to a large organization is built into the apparatus or the method, so that the user of the invention can reduce his or her freewill, or apparent freewill, to a level that matches that of a member of a large organization. The apparatus, in many embodiments, provides the user with means for self demotion, from a willnot, to maynot, to cannot hierarchy. The invention provides an incidentalist possibility of evidence capture, so that legitimate officials are less offended by a user of the invention who might otherwise be perceived as disrespectful by videotaping or photographing or otherwise documenting the activities of force or coersion bearing persons or establishments, especially when these persons or establishments are authority figures, gang leaders, or the like.
