French police should be able to spy on suspects by remotely activating the camera, microphone and GPS of their phones and other devices, lawmakers agreed late Wednesday.
Part of a wider justice reform bill, the spying provision has been attacked by the left and rights defenders as an authoritarian snoopers' charter, though Justice Minister Eric Dupond-Moretti insists it would affect only 'dozens of cases a year'.

I’ve bought several, some even DOD approved, and the phone usually rings when I call it, meaning they don’t actually work.
“government buildings instead”
At least one library and one school has been burned.
A Lay’s Potato Chip bag works even better.
Overpaid people in the employ of the federal government almost surely read everything Free Republic posters type.

“As for cell phone tracking, North Carolina’s appellate courts have already signed off on police getting people’s historical location data from phone companies without a warrant.”

“Police will be allowed to spy on suspects by remotely activating their phones’ camera, microphone and GPS under new French laws dubbed a ‘snoopers’ charter”
Which means governments are already doing this. I think just about everybody who is somewhat technically literate already knows this is happening. Snowden is in exile for his reveal. Assange too.
Cable too? With a smart TV? Sure. Phone conversations... they’ll even use lip readers if necessary.
It is an invasion the privacy, but there hasn’t been privacy in this country since before the 1820’s. I imagine Europe is about at the same... and the rest of the world gradually... and here we are. Technology just made it easier.
Solution; Mission darkness farady phone bag.
France has always given more power to police even back into the 50’s.
The original “Day of the Jackal” shows they backed kidnapping and torture.
Probably isn’t used anymore but it did exist not too long ago.
Aren’t you assuming that the US bothers to get the FISA rubber stamp?
Not every time but thousands of times. The had to keep the coup above board so they got a bunch rubber stamped to make the sedition “legal”.
In the US the trick is to do the spying to gather the information—then use other evidence collected as a result of the spying so the spying is not revealed in court.
Then if caught deny deny deny—and accuse the accuser of being a hater and an insurrectionist.
It has worked so far—no reason for them to change course.
“the Bill of Rights and why it is so very important.”
That was written by dead white slaveholders—which is why .gov can feel free to ignore it.

When in the bag, the network does not know where the phone is located, so it is "out of the service area". Your phone is dead to the world when in the bag.
When a phone is idle it sends one message every fifteen minutes to maintain tower registration. When actually in use, voice messages are sent every 20 milliseconds. Video rate is the same, but the messages are a lot longer. The transmitter consumes 5 watts when active.
You will be able to see rapid battery depletion.
if your phone is carried in a faraday type bag or holder. Can it be accessed?
No.
"The telescreen recieved and transmitted simultaneously. Any sound Winston made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be picked up by it; moreover, so long as he remained within the field of vision which the metal plaque commanded, he could be seen as well as heard. There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live - did live, from habit that became instinct - in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized. |
