This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

They use a mixture of both depending on suspect and observed operational security measures. It's much easier to leave a phone on at home while you go meet up with your connection, and if you drive an older car and don't take any WiFi enabled or Bluetooth-connected devices (sports watches, BT earbuds, hiking gear, satellite radio, etc) then a physical tracker can guarantee much better data.

The nice thing about location-based data (not tower pings) is they don't require a warrant, or even law-enforcement personnel. It's open data on the free market. Great for dumb criminals.

I'm available for security consulting. /s (^/s) Unfortunately most are more interested in convenience than privacy and security.
