Sounds interesting but I assume only if you have an iPhone and both are tied to an account?
Yes

Plenty of us travel with family!
I also think the variable state of hotel TVs is a factor even when travelling alone. Being able to plug your own device into the HDMI is valuable.
I have a dedicated travel AppleTV for this. AppleTV is great at hotel captive portals (forwarding the web page to your phone). I am already logged into all my streaming apps, including my home DVR (ChannelsDVR).
There is also no legal "reasonable expectation of privacy" for a license plate displayed on a public road.
because it would be ridiculous for police to be able to track every car everywhere it goes! (10 years ago)
Judges require warrants to put a GPS tracker on your car. Now that Flock cameras are so ubiquitous in many cities, this gives them access to the same data without a warrant.
I don't get it
99% of the population is voluntarily carrying sophisticated tracking devices with self-reporting always on
even if the signal is off it catches up later
with SEVERAL layers of tracking
not just your phone carrier but Google+Apple stores have your location as the apps are always on in the background
even phone makers have their own tracking layer sometimes
we know EVERY person that went to Epstein Island from their phone tracking and they didn't even have smartphones back then
Flock is just another lazy layer/databroker
1. Government having the data is different than private companies having the data
2. Consent
3. Accountability (e.g. A government agency needs a warrant to use your cell phone location data against you).

haha nice, the official caltrain schedule is a bit of a hassle to parse...
https://caltrain.live is pretty nice (I developed it, along with the Caltrain Companion iOS app)
