Had they remembered to connect the ground reference for the Bus Pirate, they would've had a much easier time reading the data back :)
OTOH: how is that even legal? I can't fully grasp how privacy is perceived as a sacred basic right in the US, but then they have dealers tracking people's cars for repossession purposes...
- duxup 5y agoIt’s not really clear it is tracking anything so no reason I can think of it as illegal.
- rootusrootus 5y agoIt's not illegal if it's not actually tracking you. The ones installed for repo purposes on sketchy car deals aren't secret, the customer signs paperwork acknowledging their existence. At that point they don't have a lot of choice, of course, their options are limited by circumstance.
- lalopalota 5y agoWell, they aren't tracking a person. They are tracking the vehicle, which is their property until it is paid off.
