      Surely you can think of some way that government installed GPS devices in someone’s cars might be worth choosing not to play along with…

      The “be ungovernable” sentiment is pretty common for folks on this platform, right up until the cops could maybe stop people from doing something they dont like and then suddenly surveillance and policing are totally viable solutions that definitely couldn’t possibly backfire or have unintended side effects 😅

      I’d rather stick to traffic calming road design and better pedestrian infrastructure, personally

          Yes and I don’t want them to be able to track that either. I’m not sure having an existing surveillance issue is good reason to add more surveillance 😅

          Again, we have lots of options to solve this problem structurally with traffic calming and pedestrian friendly road and infrastructure design

          I am sure, so do you. So you’ll certainly have no issue posting the GPS coordinates of your home and workplace here in this thread. After all, you’re already OK with strangers tracking you.

          I’m waiting…

            Point is, gov can see it anyway. After like 25mph, its pretty evident you’re in a vehicle.

          I have a faraday wallet. Every so often I put my phone in the wallet so that it can’t be detected by RF emissions.
