Google tracked his bike ride past a burglarized home. That made him a suspect.

"I was using an app to see how many miles I rode my bike and now it was putting me at the scene of the crime," the man said.

Armbruster yep that was a character from one of the terminator movies, I remember Arnie saying katherine armbruster…its not geofence its skynet! Good read bro! Tech creeps me out

I absolutely hate knowing in some way, shape or form I can be tracked by someone or some entity that has the ability to do so, encryption, cameras, satellites,nosey fucking people all that shit… at the same time, the most excitement I get nowadays is in some form of illegal activities.

 

[John]

10 fucking months and they wanna arrest this dude, what google didn’t show that his bike probably never stopped, but just “went by” the house

 

[TG1]

Most police dont care. They just want to close a case.

Big brother is always watching!

It never use to bother me til after the military and in the past few years it bothers me even worse thanks to @TG keepin ne updated on there shit, I stopped Facebook over a year ago because of the info he has shared

 

[Raphael3636]

Yea man I’m exactly right there with you, I do no social media , have burner phones, and to be honest it’s been getting worse as thee years , more paranoia and anxiety that I shouldn’t have to deal with

 

[John]

Exactly @Raphael3636, this forum is my only “social media”

 

[John]

Not to mention all the dumb shit people do on the net,and everyone that has to let there opinions be known to the whole world,like who gives a fuck, but odds are they wouldn’t say shit if you confronted them in person about it.

 

[John]

I also realize I give my opinions here, so I could be one of assholes giving there opinions all the time so there’s that.

I’ve only had the inter webs for like 6 months luck of the drawl landing here w you fellas. Never had any Facebook or Myspace and I dont know what Twitter or Instagram is lol fuck it I’ve been good without it

 

[John]

It’s all garbage, and like you @Sig516 luck of the drawl for me to, this is the first forum or internet related thing I have been a part of besides FB

 

[Sig516]

Hell yeah amish life baby, and people like @TG scare the shit outa me

 

[John]

Ha ha yeah he’s probably watching us

I got rid of Facebook in 2013. On top of being extremely cautious as to what was possibly being shared with god only knows who, I hated reading posts every day from idiots letting the entire world know what they were doing every 34 seconds like the whole world gave a fuck. My wife still has people on her face pages that post the most ridiculous shit I’ve ever seen. Never had a Twitter or any of that other shit. I don’t even like to google shit, unless it’s a necessity. That google search will go to a fucking server building and gets stored for the rest of eternity…

 

[Bigmurph6]

This story is absolutely sickening and scary.
This is an overstep into privacy that shouldn’t happen I feel extremely bad for the victim and wouldn’t have a problem beating the people that did this but its le job to find the criminal the right way and receiving all that information from Google should be against the law.

 

[John]

Why you gotta be violent

 

[Bigmurph6]

Only because it was a crime against the elderly. They deserve a good beating for robbing that lady. I know that you agree with that lol

 

[John]

I laughed, but yes and people like that need pre-emptive beatings to keep up with their stupidity
