I’m not trying to offer a comprehensive solution for avoiding government monitoring. I’m just offering a solution for avoiding cellular Stingrays while retaining cellular service.
For a more comprehensive solution, you would need to at minimum not carry any electronic devices (signal detection), wear a mask and IR-blocking glasses (face detection), and wear shoe inserts (gait detection) — and even then, they can still seize you and overcome those obstacles at will.
- falcolas 6y agoThe context of this article is "Cops tracking your phone", of which the parent comment does not prevent in any meaningful fashion. The rest of the remedies presented here are also mostly unrelated to phone tracking.
- floatingatoll 6y agoYour summary of the context is broader than that of the article. The context of the article is "cops interacting with your cellular radio" in order to capture IMSIs and perform other interactions, using Stingrays and Dirtboxes. Not carrying devices with radios is sufficient to prevent you from being tracked by them. I concede that if you carry a radio-less device and hardwire it to a network, then as in Battlestar Galactica, you have now removed some of the safety that the absence of a radio provided.
