5G mid-band (let's go with the charitable option) has an effective range of up to 2miles.

So no big deal, just all 5G communications within up to a 12sq mi circle surrounding the vehicle.

Don't think that's exactly "targeted".

Legally, there's a debate to be had.

A telescope on a hill that can see everything within a 12sq mi circle Vs a "google maps" type 360 panorama lens on the same hill.

Live only versus 24/7 recording, filtered (only pointed at one house of interest / only logging specific devices / only logging a network of devices that interact with devices of interest)

The question re: "targeted" goes to whether it's opened ended recording of everything, or filtered and targeted sifting out of warranted subjects.
