I always wanted something to watch where their unmarked cars are. Speed traps are the worst.

Apart from the occasional overtaking which you might need the extra speed, the odds you get a ticket from a hidden camera are very low if you just respect the speed limits. Or am I missing some point?

I saw this talk live but was disappointed the app is $10 to give it a shot. Seems a little steep.

Your comment is an interesting reflection to me of the expectations people have for cheap or free software. You were willing to invest your time and schedule into seeing this talk live, which for many people is a much larger investment than $10. My default assumption of folks on this board is that they're well-off tech workers, which would make it seem even starker in comparison to $10.

My comment isn't anything about you personally, and I've had similar reactions to even cheaper software. But it still find it striking when I think about it more.

I feel like there are far better ways to determine police locations just by finding their other, more powerful, radio frequency footprints.

When I saw the headline I assumed it'd be about the P25 unencrypted metadata leakage issue (specifically Unit Link ID) described in https://www.mattblaze.org/papers/p25sec.pdf - that indeed carries a lot further than BLE
