Authorities executed a search warrant on Google and obtained information that revealed Kevin Sam Blakely's location inside the Capitol during the riot, according to a criminal complaint filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.

And this is why I refer to a cellphone as a "pocket snitch". I stopped carrying it with me a long time ago, especially if it's a google phone which is the ultimate snitch.

Misleading data is far more valuable to you than no data.
DeleteLead them to the data trail you want them to see.
They aren’t everywhere and their power is far more limited than they would like us to believe.
Remember, 12 noon EST
Take every swinging dick outside and let’s make some noise the whole world can hear.
Can we make enough to register on a Seismograph? I think that would send a message.
Get one of those Faraday bags for your phone, and its location is safe.
ReplyDeleteThey will still need additional evidence to place him there. But a fuzzy picture and the GPS data may be enough.
Thats why I use a faraday or rfid wallet for my phone. Carry it in case it is needed for an emergency, but no signal gets out or in to the phone unless I need it.
ReplyDelete"Inside the Capital?" Not aware that a cell-phone (even with GPS) could pin-point the location inside versus outside on the steps that exactly, especially inside a building.
ReplyDeleteMore likely identified by FBI snitches in the crowd or facial recognition. They probably don't want The People thinking too hard about government agents provocateurs in their midst.
Not that google would bend the truth or anything.
Deleteit's called triangulation via Radio Direction Finding. All you need is three cell tower pings and they got you within three feet. RDF is is almost as old as radio.
DeleteHow about just TURNING THE DAMN CELL PHONE OFF when you're out and about or leave it on the kitchen counter. I have serious concerns about people that think that they have to be constantly available via phone. WTF did people do before this technology was available? They enjoyed nature and each other's company uninterrupted by anything more than the wind and were a lot more self reliant. Ya, I'm an old SOB who can still remember back to the days when the only "technology" present in most every home was a radio with vacuum tubes.

At least one major credit card issuing bank (Wells Fargo, I think) voluntarily turned over CC records to the feds of customers whose cards showed activity (hotels, restaurants) in the DC area on days around the time of the demonstration.
ReplyDeleteI keep mine in a radio-proof bag.
ReplyDeleteMy son mentioned that Bank of America (iirc, originally Bank of Italy which just means they are returning to their fascist roots) turned in a list of customers that used their ATM cards in the DC area around the time of the so called riots.
ReplyDeleteWhy even go to the capitol? That crowd/protest crap never accomplishes anything. Waste of time at best.
ReplyDeleteor 2 words faraday bag
ReplyDeleteI have to leave mine at home. It's wired to the wall and has been for 55 years.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet your grandkids were astounded the first time they saw it; ours were.
DeleteFunny how they can do this to the folks that were at the Cpitol Protest, but couldn't be beothered to do it for the folks who Burnt and Looted the stores last summer, innit?
ReplyDeleteAll those looters last summer, all those folks who burn Federal Courthouses and did all the damages to the police stations, all the looting....and yet they never even tried to prosecute any of THOSE people....only the Capitol folks.
So if they arrest a robber for robbery and murder but he left his cell phone at home is that sufficient proof that he could not have been at the scene of the crime? Just askin.
ReplyDeleteI like the convenience the phone provides, so I have a hybrid suggestion: disable the device within Location History. Then the Google Maps and such still work. The phone knows where you are, but it doesn't remember where you've been.
ReplyDeleteOn Google Maps on your phone, touch your initial in the search bar to bring up your account.
Scroll down to click Settings.
Click Google Location Settings
Set Location "On"
Click Google Location History
Set Location History "Off", or you can set it "On" and continue
Click Devices on this Account
Uncheck the device or devices you don't want tracked.
The phone itself doesn't remember, and it can't be used to determine where you've been.
It is unclear if "Google Knows". Presume they do.
You can still leave it home if you're paranoid.

Good thing cell towers don't have any way to connect individual phones to their IMEI, there aren't enough towers to triangulate signals, and nobody ever has bluetooth or wi-fi on to pinpoint location.
DeleteAnd that's before mentioning Stingray towers...
Maybe every right thinking, moral person should 'go galt' and let the scum eat themselves.

So the government, when it told us GPS is limited to plus or minus 26 feet, lied to us. Nothing new there, but they are now lying to themselves as a means of justifying the arrest of specific individuals based on where their phone said they were. A lot of people can fit closely together within a 25.6 ft circle. Hope the defense team is checking this out.
ReplyDeleteSOURCE: The accuracy commitments do not apply to GPS devices, but rather to the signals transmitted in space. For example, the government commits to broadcasting the GPS signal in space with a global average user range error (URE) of ≤7.8 m (25.6 ft.), with 95% probability.
