This will be fun to test on the next trip down into Colorado. We have several Flock cameras around Cheyenne, and many in the bigger cities in Colorado. I normally turn off WiFi when leaving the house, but worth leaving…
A good reminder to examine who you buy phones from as they could be tampered with. You could also investigate the manufacturer and learn how to install their stock firmware yourself, or better yet, buy a phone that is supported…
A long but very good article with an interesting bit of history. They’ve been working towards computers having IDs for tracking, and humorously being exposed by game cheat bans. And notice if you use Windows or macOS, you have a…

I was always sure the federal government was hoovering up all the ALPR camera data, and this confirms one mechanism. And the federal government is paying for it, and the interesting part is they’re gobbling up the data from not…
