It’s true and a real thing, but its also just a BS excuse to push for removal of body cameras.
“I think it comes down to either incompetence or laziness … it just seems like the engineers who developed this were either ignorant or incompetent,” he said"
Nah, I’m sure the engineers knew, or were too incompetent
As per usual, it’s management who pushed for such tight development schedules that they didn’t have the time to do it right while at the same time offering so little money they could only attract idiots who only know half of what they should.
I fucking guarantee you that is the core of the problem
Standard operating procedure. Every engineer knows the old rule: On time, On Budget, Done right; pick 2. No one ever picks option 3, public or private.
Couple of sensationalized things. Undercover cops aren’t carrying a body cam or taser. That would be easy to spot in person.
Next bluetooth is short range. You gotta be decently close. Like 25 feet give or take.
Commentary, of course the company was lazy. It costs money to add the feature to rotate mac addresses.With a proper custom antenna you can track bluetooth devices from larger distances
Interesting. How far?
Never tried myself, but big boys say 1-2km, depending on ambient noise levels, if no major obstacles in the way.

How is it able to get the latitude and longitude of the devices? As far as I’m aware, the bluetooth spec doesn’t provide coordinates as part of its metadata. And you’d need some kind of triangulation method otherwise. I’m certainly not able to get the coordinates of my bluetooth devices. Wish I could, would make finding the remote a lot easier.
Didn’t read, is he dead? The term “tried” makes me anxious.
