I stopped carrying mine.  It sits at home most of the time I'm out and about.  I use it like I would a land line except I take it when we travel somewhere.

I wonder if "they" could use it to see how fast you are driving. 

When I was on I-75 the other day, the GPS lady warned me of a couple of speed traps ahead. She was right. There were three of them, and warned of all of them, about 1 mile ahead. I've never had that happen before.

Would it be too much to ask to have a president who, when faced with ugly opposition, could respond with something better than a large middle finger?
it's not, but we were only presented with 2 options in the last election

both options are more apt to reply with said middle finger
and unfortunately both parties can't seem to find better options for the upcoming election

The wife uses Wayz and it does that of course, and they could test your speed, just as they can tell how fast you went between toll gates.

But they don't use it, I think they have to observe you speeding here in the US.  France is replete with traffic cameras.  You get a ticket in the mail.

I hope to get to this point in my life in a few years
powering it down would hopefully eliminate any data collection, but I'm not sure.

how do I know if I set the app to ONLY collect GPS data while I'm using the app, that they aren't really collecting data ALL the time?

cell phones are evil
You set the permissions at the phone level on a per-app basis, so the phone OS won't allow those apps to even access the data when the apps aren't running. 

Obviously then you have to trust that Google/Apple are implementing that correctly, but that's at least what they're designed to do and it's what they say they're doing.

how do they prove that I am in possession of my cell phone at the time of incident?
They won't have to prove it if they fire you and don't tell you that it was because of where they saw you going by tracking your cell phone app.

By the way, in the crowd-clearing-for-POTUS-photo-op the other day, it WAS tear gas that was used, despite the head of the Park Police asserting the contrary.

https://thebulwark.com/the-tear-gas-hoax-hoax/







These were found by reporters in the aftermath of the crowd-clearing-for-photo-op.

CS (supposedly standing for "chemical smoke") is the classic tear gas that the armed forces have long used to train troops in chemical operations.  If your protective mask isn't properly sealed, you inhale it and get it in your eyes and nose.  If your chemical protective suit isn't sealed up properly, you get it on your clothes.  I've gone through a CS "gas chamber" with no chemical protection gear on except a mask.  It was not pleasant on the other side.  CS was in my clothes and on my skin.

The last picture is of "OC."  This is not one I've personally used or encountered, but it is pepper gas.

[CS Tear Gas Spray] Physical effects: Extreme burning of the nose, eyes, and throat, involuntary closing of the eyes, coughing, rise in blood pressure, mucus secretion, nausea, and vomiting. In most cases, the symptoms of tear gas spray subside within 30 minutes.

[OC Pepper Gas Spray] Physical Effects: Uncontrollable watering of the eyes, extreme burning of the eyes and nose, temporary blindness, nasal and sinus discharge, burning of the skin, increase in blood pressure. In most cases, the symptoms of pepper spray last no longer than 45-60 minutes. . . .

Not that it really matters whether "smoke bombs" or tear gas or (worse than tear gas) pepper gas was used in the violent removal of law-abiding American citizens so that the POTUS could have a picture made while he was holding up a Bible he's never read in front of a church he does not attend.

About the rubber bullets, well the Park Police are technically correct there.  They weren't rubber bullets.  They were rubber pellets expelled from flash-bang grenades thrown into the crowd.

Here's one that didn't go off.



It turns out that the device in the picture, the Stinger Grenade, is a “maximum effect device that delivers three stimuli for psychological and physiological effects: rubber pellets, light, and sound.”

The Stinger Rubber Ball Grenade has an initial 1.5 second delay that initiates fuze assembly separation, followed by another .5 second delay before the blast which is sufficient to project the rubber balls in a 50 foot radius.

It is just fine to stay with an open mind and declare that you are not sure either way of course.

Most people I find decide based on their political leanings and then search for whatever "facts" comport with that.  It's hard to keep a truly open mind and decide based on actual facts even if they are what you would prefer not to acknowledge.
