New Tech Can Link Your Phone Signal to Your License Plate Via Roadside Cameras

Emerging surveillance technology is capable of connecting a driver's phone or Bluetooth signals to their vehicle's license plate. The system works by using roadside cameras enhanced with radio signal detection to correlate device identifiers with plate numbers. This would allow authorities or other operators to build detailed movement profiles of individuals without requiring direct access to a phone. The development raises significant privacy concerns, as it could transform ordinary traffic cameras into powerful tracking infrastructure. No specific deployment details or responsible parties were identified in the initial report.
