    Friendly reminder many manufactured goods also have RFID stickers within, used to track/trace parts during factory assembly. These are active and readable at all times by systems like this - irrespective of if the devices are powered.

      ha my shoes have RFid tags for stock tracking, I wonder how far away that can be read

      even most watches people have now broadcast bluetooth MAC (and maybe ANT+ id)

      and that data is never ever going away, there's no warrant and no law to regulate it

      they still have tracking data for everyone who visited Epstein Island decades ago (which is even more crazy that no-one was prosecuted out of hundreds)

        You can read a passive RFID from about 30 meters with the right equipment.

    we have reached the point where now at any point in the future they can trace anyone backwards for months without a warrant (and without probable cause)

    they can pick a person and then just look for a crime to prosecute since most people break laws daily without realizing it

      Nah, they won't prosecute for a crime. People accused of crimes have these pesky things called rights. Say nothing of the paper trail that process creates.

      They'll find some civil infraction to threaten you with. You'll be cast into a kangaroo system where the deck is stacked against you, you have no presumption of innocence, no right to not self incriminate, you have nearly no right to see let alone question the evidince against you. And of course the civil infraction will have some absurd dollar figure attached thanks to all the useful idiots who think that the fine "needs to be a deterrent".
