Right, but they can access your car later and see all the places you've been.

Seems like a futile effort to avoid cars with GPS if you carry a device around that is connected to a mobile network. Is there anyone that does not carry around a dumb phone, if not a smartphone?

[zeckalpha]

Yes. I know people who have dumb phones but they only put the batteries in when they need to make a call.

I'm not sure whether the inability to be called is a bug or a feature.

mos def a feature

Presumably you are the only person with the password to your phone unless you use biometrics, with which you can be forced to unlock it. The car's black box, on the other hand, can be dumped by warrant (at the most).

[lotsofpulp]

I am referring to the mobile network operators in the country having knowledge of your location at all times if you have a connected and powered on mobile device, which is then available to the government.

[rhizome]

Tower logs, sure. I'm definitely drifting toward no-GPS dumbphone territory, but there may also be reasons to give up.

You could unplug the antenna or replace the head unit.
