What is Geofencing and How Does it Works?

Показать описание

Geofencing is a location-based service that generates instant alerts whenever a vehicle or person enters, exits, or crosses a specific geographical area. Geofencing uses GPS, RFID, Wi-Fi, or cellular data to define a virtual geographical boundary around a real-world geographic area. #Geofencing

Very glad to not have a smartphone. This technology is great when used for wholesome purposes, but terrible when in the wrong hands. And we all know this is in a lot of bad hands.

Track and trace you in an open prison. Dump the smart phones.

Just watched a crime show where a case went cold. Then the police utilized Geo fencing and got a subpoena from Google and asked it who was in 100 feet of this house on a specific date during a specific time. Google came back with about 20 different people. They went through all those people and found one person who had a criminal record and did not belong in that neighborhood. That got the ball rolling and the guy went to jail for murder. They would have never solved it otherwise because the guy never used his phone or made a phone call from it. But it was on, and that was all that was needed!

So without a phone on you (left in car) you could enter a restricted zone that's geo-fenced in & you wouldn't notice & they wouldn't be alerted... Also if you stole an enemy's phone & put it in a restricted geo-fence & they would take the heat... I'm trying to think of practical uses & how people would abuse the system... Does it work if the phone is in Airplane Mode? In a feroday cage/bag/box?
