Funny, our smartphones do exactly the same thing yet we keep them on our person or close by while having all of our regular conversations with others. One former CIA employee stated smartphones were the greatest gift the CIA ever got for spying on American citizens.
Very good point. I bet you most of the people complaining about these devices couldn’t part with their smartphones. They would just say it’s not the same.
I don't carry a tracking device with me. I don't even have GPS on my car. I have to use maps.
I am glad to live in a state without inspection stickers. However, most newer vehicles have tracking devices though, too. Almost everything made within the last 10 yrs, especially 5, has some kind of listening and tracking device. Not just vehicles but including washing & drying machines, microwaves, refrigerators, televisions,obvious stupid ring camera, even fucking lightbulbs, and water meters.
I have a 20 year old vehicle with no inspection sticker. Also, there are no smart appliances in my home and no LED fixtures either. I use regular incandescent bulbs or halide. (Check a LED fixture with a meter and see how much microwave energy they put out. It is alarming.) The only reason there is a smart meter on my home is because my mother unknowingly gave them permission to install the damn thing when I was at work. But, I am in the process of trying to get them to switch it back. It is going to cost me some money to do it though. In the meantime, I have it caged to reduce the microwave output. It helped a great deal as just standing on the side of the house was making me ill. I do not have any wireless devices in my home other than the phones - but they are off when not in use. People just do not realize the extent of the invasion into their lives for the sake of convenience. Besides just the invasion of privacy, all that tech may also be making them sick.
Arent there devices that can scan for this?
We don't get inspection stickers on our windshields in NC. The inspection is recorded on computer, then the DMV can see that and issue you the current plate sticker, which has nothing but the month, year, and plate number.
So nope.
You’re one of the smart ones
