California, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York. Hmmm.. what do these states have in common?
and probably using her WiFi ,LOL
Government’s already doing it. Might as well just make it easy for everyone by making it publicly available.
They have drones down to the size of a dragonfly now, and maybe even smaller. It’s scary stuff... But it isn’t like we didn’t know this was coming. Lots of science fiction typically becomes science non-fiction. Privacy does not exist anymore and never really has... It’s just more in your face now.
As a person who’s done some geneology research... I can tell you this... There is a ton of information about your long dead relatives out there from the 19th century onwards... And that information is minor compared to the information maintained on everybody today. A person with the right tech and access can know everything about you... And they can use that to screw you over.
Phone stuck in the lawn is another problem solved by a lawn mower.
And the battery, with vid cam up and runnng, lasts 24 hours? Seems odd.
Big Brother is watching, but so is everyone else.
I suspect the lawn service is involved. Lawn care can replace the phones as needed.
If it’s buried, how does it track people?
What’s the point of having the camera uncovered then?
It’s a LOT EASIER just to tap into their Smart Meter, or the Flock System (license plate cameras throughout the US).
Discovering a hidden device on your lawn isn’t just unsettling — it’s a serious breach of privacy.
Somebody paid for the phone, it has a phone number and a credit card attached to the phone.
Seems pretty easy to find out who set it up.
Phone must have a strong battery.
Foreign gangs are doing this in California, called “burglery tourism” - hiding cameras in bushes, etc. to “scout out” rich homes.
They use the lax Visa Waver system - which allows people from certain foreign countries to visit the U.S. for roughly three months without a visa - to get in and out of the country quickly.
“A majority of burglary tourists originate from Chile.”
I’ve heard about this a few times over the last couple of months.
Wqas she cheating on her husband?
Reason 6,458 to not live in a city.
I didn’t go to the msn link, but does the article ever cite a real crime perpetrated using the “phone surveillance” concept?
Experts warn that these kinds of planted devices may be part of a growing tactic used by burglars to spy on homeowners.
