@sacramentourbanmedia916: License plate readers may soon be capable of tracking far more than vehicles. A new technology called SignalTrace reportedly links cars to the wireless devices traveling with them, including smartphones, smartwatches, earbuds, fitness trackers, and even some RFID-equipped items such as work badges and pet microchips. The system works by detecting publicly broadcast signals from nearby devices and grouping them into a unique digital profile, or “electronic fingerprint.” By analyzing which devices consistently travel together, the technology can associate those signals with a specific vehicle and store the information for future searches. Unlike traditional license plate readers, the sensors can operate with or without cameras and can be installed in locations beyond roadways, including train stations, shopping centers, and event venues. Privacy advocates have raised concerns that the technology could significantly expand surveillance capabilities by linking individuals to their vehicles and movements, creating detailed records of where people go and what devices they carry.#fyp #viral
