you can run BUT...

Now just wait until this gets mainstreamed/hacked to the point where it's on the street.

Then life will sure be a b(tch for the rest of us.

You can’t erase the evidence of what you are doing, how it works, what it captured and then deliver the results for discovery.

You have to present the entire chain or it’s invalid.

Now, I’ll go read the article.

OnStar.
Cell phone triangulation during calls.
Cell phone triangulation when not on active call.

All can be used to track you.

Now.... are our politicians/lawmakers concerned about the tracking of the average JOE ?

NO. What they are really worried about is whether THEY can be tracked when they go to Madam DeFarge’s House of Ill-Repute.

It may work like this:

Get general area (cell site, sector) from the cellular operator.

Then use this device which will decode the equipment serial number from the transmission that a cellphone periodically sends to the network. With the area narrowed down, you can use Angle-of-Arrival methods to triangulate on the specific ESN broadcast as you drive down streets in the general area. House located, no GPS needed.

This is not new technology. In the book “Killing Pablo”, about hunting down Pablo Escobar in 1993, the author relates how they tracked Pablo by his cell phone.
