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:

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

thats cute people think they still put trackers on cars and don't just pull cell or car data directly.

I'll be a dead man before I buy a car made after 2016

I have a car made right before that BS and it keeps asking me to take it to the dealer for service on the cellular module. Ha, like fuck am I gonna do that. And if it keeps bitching, I'll take it to my guy to have him just remove the blood fucking cellular altogether because fuck you the things paid off

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.

I always keep pictures of my asshole on my phone in case the glowies search it.
