those things are definitely GPS tracked and send pings to the main hub to signal that they're still working

Whatever you do, don't put them in a faraday bag to prevent them from doing this. It'd certainly be terrible if some were to do that and avoided being caught...

Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car’s location, date, and time. They also capture your car’s make, model, color, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points. These cameras collect data on millions of vehicles—regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. While these systems can be useful for tracking stolen cars or wanted individuals, they are mostly used to track the movements of innocent people.
