You are being watched

The government has a secret system: (Not a secret anymore)

Ita a machine that spies on you every hour of every day
I know because I'm a conspiracy nut and go down rabbit holes for days, sometimes weeks.

They want us to think they designed the machine to detect acts of terror, but it sees and hears everything and I mean everything.

There is no such thing as privacy. You want some form of privacy - Get rid of Internet, cellphones and don't drive modern vehicles. (Drive 2010 and older)

Number plate recognition cameras will still track your car regardless of its age or how disconnected it might be.

@ninalanyon Depending on the system and country, they will also determine if the plates are legitimate, stolen or false, by matching the number to the vehicle.

It can help trace stolen cars, too.

However, that only shows where your car is, not why you are there, with whom, meetng whom, what you are carrying, and so on.

Similarly with the location-signal from a portable telephone. It does not reveal what its owner is doing. It simply says to its own network, "I am phone xyz, and I am here", so it can actually work. Without it, it is merely a simple camera with a few extras like alarm-clock and calculator.

Much of the time when I am out my phone is still at home and switched off. When I do take it with me, it is switched off for most of the time.

In any case, it's not the government or security agencies I fear trying to trace me, at least not in the UK, but the huge American commercial entities that have more or less monopolised the Internet.
