Leonardo SignalTrace sensors passively detect Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and RFID identifiers from phones, wearables, and car systems to create electronic fingerprints linking devices to vehicles for law enforcement tracking. (3 min video)

ransomnote: The body of the post is about FLOCK cameras, but the video explains the service interupting her car bluetooth is likely Leonardo SignalTrace sensors which are being rolled out. GROK's analysis below seems to confirm this.

@WallStreetApes

American says she always has the Bluetooth in her car cutout randomly for 1-2 seconds at a time, she couldn’t figure out why

She finally figured it out. It’s the flock safety cameras. Every time she drives by a flock cameras whether it’s an intersection or parking lot, her Bluetooth temporarily cuts out

She believes the flock is reading the Bluetooth of her car, which ironically there is a new service called SignalTrace that’s essentially an expansion on Flock that does identify you and all your passengers by your device signals. It’s not Flock but SignalTrace sensors are out near or on Flock camera’s poles sometimes

Flock’s hardware emits the same Bluetooth band as Bluetooth audio in your car so there can be interference. What she’s saying is real

Those of you that are happy about all this surveillance better take into account that Republicans can easily turn on us, and Dims can definitely use these powerful privacy-killers on us. A company like Flock will do the bidding of whoever pays them.

Fight this crap now or lose your freedoms.

I get it that people don't believe me now

BUT they will before it's over
We're not there of course

These are steps towards that day
We are ALL being Geofenced right now

Digital Geofencing will make COVID-19(84)
Tyranny look like nothing in comparison

Just need the Chinese Social Credit Score System

It will sure be fun when they sell everything to advertisers and take over signals to make us hear ads.

Passively detecting BT does not “knock it out.”

Guess what also broadcasts a unique ID:

TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) became mandatory for all new passenger cars and light trucks in the United States for the 2008 model year, with full compliance required for vehicles manufactured after September 1, 2007

TPMS sensors broadcast on Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) radio waves, typically operating at 315 MHz in North America and 433 MHz in Europe and other regions. These low-power signals (approximately 250μW) transmit data including a unique sensor ID, tire pressure, and temperature from the wheel to the vehicle’s receiver antenna, which may be located on the windshield, in the wheel well, or integrated with the keyless entry system.

The system uses an internal MEMS accelerometer to wake the sensor when the vehicle reaches a threshold speed (typically 15–20 mph), causing it to broadcast data every 30–120 seconds while driving to conserve battery. If a rapid pressure drop is detected, the sensor immediately transmits an emergency signal. During service or relearn procedures, technicians use a 125 kHz Low Frequency (LF) signal to "ping" specific sensors, forcing them to transmit their ID for proper vehicle registration.

Understand that the effective range of Bluetooth radio signals can be over 100m (330 ft.) with unobstructed line of sight. This means anything you own with active Bluetooth in an outdoor environment can be detected over a football field-length away.

Flock is the current bete noir, yes, but law enforcement has a LOT of tools in their belt. Ridding ourselves of Flock (and Axon, TBH) is an appropriate goal, but we’re missing the forest for the trees.

100 meters unobstructed? I’ll need to test that ‘cause my bluetooth connection won’t go 5 feet through a wall or window.

I wear hearing aids and often listen to music and the tv through them.
When I’m riding my bike or skiing I use a remote controller for the connection (Chubby Buttons).
When riding if I put my phone in the center back pocket of my jersey it won’t work and I need to put the phone in the side back pocket on the same side that I have the remote controller on.
When skiing the phone is in the chest pocket and if I turn my head to the right the signal cut’s out - but not when I turn my head to the left.
I drive by Flock’s everyday and never had the bluetooth cut out.

That said I’m aware that companies are building software to track your personal “electronic aura”. This data - once aggregated - can then be followed around until your are close to a camera or other identifying devices to find out who your are.

My 2010 VW had tire pressure detection.

It was not an electronic sensor.

It was from monitoring the tire rotation using the braking lock-up system.

A tire with more rotation was getting flat, and got reported.

We’ve lived almost 25 years now without any credible pushback to the unconstitutional searches to which TSA has subjected billions of airline passenger departures.

We’re numb to our government’s lawbreaking overreach. Using that crack in the door, we’re now allowing Flock cameras to track us everywhere and that tracking data to be sold, such that almost anyone could participate in government-facilitated lawbreaking!

The slaves are numb. We need to enter the Golden Age of which PDJT has spoken.

Come Quickly!
