We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."
The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.
The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.
It's time.

Many cars nowadays collect and transmit real time geolocation, audio, and other data back to the automaker, and they often store it for years. Only an ID and a warrant (optional) away from being in the hands of law enforcement.
Looking into it there seems to be ways you can physically de-energize that equipment like pulling cables, but it usually involves taking your dash apart and you will lose a lot of modern functionality of the head unit.
Older cars don't have this issue... Unless you bring your phone along with you
Yeah, I'm looking for a new car and realized I need to be looking for older, well maintained vehicles because anything with a center console is a weapon against the driver.
That isnt what a center console is, just to be accurate. The "center console" is a general term for the area that runs between the dashboard and drivers and passengers seats.
Essentially you just want a car with no factory gps. Although anything old enough to have not had gps from the factory (think old style universally sized replaceable stereos, the DIN form factor) is more than likely safe as anything aftermarket wont be linked to the rego or vin. If you want to be extra cautious, remove the stereo head unit for an old aftermarket one with no bluetooth either.
