Thinking out loud... an RTL-SDR dongle costs like $35.00 or so (well maybe more now due to tariffs, I haven't bought one in a while), plenty of relevant software is open source (GNURadio etc.), drones are cheap, small solar panels are fairly inexpensive. Hmm... I almost think a motivated individual (or small group of individuals) could piece together a rather capable "distributed monitoring/alert" system.
Not that I'm encouraging anyone to do such a thing, of course.
- BobaFloutist 1y agoI don't even know that it's explicitly illegal. Google maps is allowed to warn you about speed traps.
- mindcrime 1y agoI agree, it probably isn't really explicitly illegal. But if one put together such a thing, depending on how they decided to use it, I have a hunch that the State would find something to charge them with. I'll resist the temptation to say more, to avoid going too overtly political here.
- gloyoyo 1y agoI'm pretty sure it's not outside of the range of ANYONE to whip up in a fortnight, and have distributed near instantaneously. If anything, it's the most basic of "wireless site survey" applications.
