Interesting that one of the items that they iPhone can’t replace is the “fuzz buster”, a radar detector
Arguably that’s also covered by Waze or any other speed trap app
But the dystopian take is that the iPhone gave away far more to the surveillance state than we ever had with scanners and radar detectors of old. I don’t think we’ll ever go back.
Yeah, but then the cops had radar detector-detectors. And of course the war of escalation continued, with radar-detector, detector, detectors. and even radar detector-detector-detector-detectors.
Fun times.
As I recall, the goal was for the detector detectors to shut off once detecting that they were being detected, to avoid a ticket in places where detectors were illegal.
And in Ontario, Canada? One single company sold to the cops and people, in a war of escalation that left their pockets quite padded. Wikipedia says BEL-Tronics, Inc. of Ontario, Canada
Kind of the same game-plan (suspected) of antivirus companies.
Is that because the wireless hardware on the phone can't pick it up, or because nobody has attempted to program it?
Then again, it needs to be a laser detector today.
