    I mean- anything that communicates wirelessly could be used to track an owner/user of a thing… Is it likely? No, but is it possible someone puts radios under the pavement at intersections to log TPMS sensors? Sure- fuck now I’m messing with my own head. Never mind.

      It seems easier to set up a camera and scan the license plate for identification instead of using radios for logging TPMS sensors.

      Would it be an advantage to identify a car by logging the TPMS sensors?

        It would certainly be of interest to know the “where” and “when” of where someone is - to FLOCK or the government. I don’t like where this is going in my brain.

          Oh, I meant what the advantage would be of tracking TPMS sensors instead of using a camera to read the license plate. I can see the advantage of tracking people.

            Ah. My bad. Outside of “stolen plate” I don’t know what reason could be.
