    I’m going to start carrying around a wifi/Bluetooth jammer. Saw one for about $200 that can fit in you pocket.

      If that outputs any sort out MAC address (hope to God not) I wonder if you’d be able to be scanned by Flock or Axis cameras with their BT/WiFi proximity scanning…

      If I understand correctly, it would just broadcast those signals rally loud to overwhelm the listening devices? Guess I need to do homework. I’d hardwire mine to my car then.

      I’m fairly certain those can lead to massive legal trouble because they can interfere with actual first responders like fire/medical. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I personally wouldn’t take that chance.
