SignalTrace “links devices that regularly travel together, correlating them to license plate.” It is a surveillance product that will sweep up and add all sorts of Bluetooth and other data to license plate readers, linking specific devices—and people—to cars.

      No good reason for this whatsoever.

      Unless you’re using your phone for GPS navigation, power it down while you’re in the car.

    So the question I have here is, if Bluetooth is disabled, does it still broadcast the unique ID? Can any of that be truly disabled or do I have to stuff my phone in a faraday bag? What about the Bluetooth ID in my cars heading, can that even be disabled?
