How does this work? I’d like to avoid tracking but stay within the law if possible.

Hiding your license plate will almost always be considered an offense, but is it one cops actively care about? Luckily in my state I vary rarely see cops on the road making my risk much lower. In the case of getting pulled over, its a $75 dollar fee in Colorado that I am happy to pay, it won't change my behavior.

You can also leave your cell phone at home. Disable anything broadcasting from your vehicle, like bluetooth, wifi, and onboard cell connectivity for telematics. Remove the RFID chips on your car rims (assuming you have a recent model vehicle). Remove TPM sensors from your wheels (A lot of them have part of your vehicle VIN in the packets). Tint your car windows... and remove anything that is unique, like stickers off your vehicle. Partially are completely block your license plate from being read by ALPR's.

Do all of those and you're not as trackable as you are not doing them today.

Protecting ones privacy comes with the incidental side effect of making it difficult for society to penalize one for not abiding by the rules.

Bank robbers wear ski masks for similar privacy concerns.

Then society should do something about the invasion of privacy happening everywhere. Take Flock camera systems in Colorado as an example, Colorado has been trying to limit access to ALPR data to only municipalities within the state for immigration related cases. The state has even went as far as creating a law. Loveland police department gave federal officials (ICE, DEA, ATF) access to states ALPR data, completely bypassing the law on the books. Data like this has been weaponized and if you can't see it, not sure how I can help you.

Instead of radar, more and more places are installing ANPR (aka ALPR) cameras here. They measure how long it taked you to drive between two locations, if it's faster than the speed limit, the fine will find you. Tiny Belgium already has more than 5k ANPR cameras.

Predictably, the system is being (ab)used for all kinds of monitoring and tracking on top of speed enforcement. And in a certain sense, all those irresponsibly fast drivers with radar detectors are partially responsible for the further erosion of privacy on the road.

This is easily managed by hiding your license plates. I haven't shown my real license plate in years (It has a ping identity sticker on it) and no plans on doing so, it's to protect my own privacy.

All of that noise is K band and soon to be spread out across 77 ghz, outside of the bands being used by law enforcement (for now). If you take high velocity seriously, I recommend getting a Uniden R9 and a ALPriority Laser Jammer system. Then add in a dedicated android tablet running Highway Radar, you'll be a hard target to target. Also get a pair of binoculars (bonus points if they're thermal).

I haven't had a speeding ticket since 2018, before I had my tools. Just this week I was averaging 120 mph across Utah, turned my 11 hour trip into 8 hours.

“Gameboy-like device” - are they referring to Flipper Zeros with the firmware to exploit RF rolling codes?

More than likely

I was just looking at a new Hyundai today. Now I've got something more to consider if they aren't willing to stand behind securing their vehicles at their cost.

I tried Ollama once but immediately removed it, when I couldn't easily install models that are outside of the models they "support". LM Studio is by far the best tool out there in my humble opinion.

Is this a good take? I'm just a below average dev and trying to figure it out.

Very opinionated clickbait if you ask me.

It's been good using hashicorp tools, now IBM is going to run them to the ground. I need to look into the fork of tf now.

Colorado data privacy laws are a joke. The plebs are unable to take action against companies who violate their data privacy, only the Colorado Attorney General can do anything.
