You know, there are cameras everywhere. And you usually don't see them. They're very small now. If you see a camera in a store or other business, it's probably a prop. And there's facial recognition everywhere. And doorbell cameras. Plus anyone, including the authorities, could always know where you are, because they could always know as much as your cellphone did. Like Edward Snowden said even ten years ago,"They know where you got on the bus, where you went to work, where you slept, and what other cell phones slept with you." Also, almost everything people own these days is pinging, giving off a satellite signal in other words. We got our PC in 2002. And I was surprised as I was hooking it up that we already had a satellite signal even before we got internet connection. Because our PC had someone connected to a satellite overhead. Everything with a computer is probably giving off a satellite signal. Cars, smartphones, laptops, other electronics. In short, they're watching you right now. They probably won't worry about some trivial thing you did, like shoplifting or peeing on your neighbor's tree while drunk late at night. But if you do something serious they may take action then. So why even try ?
Big Brother is everywhere - it is impossible to be completely off the grid and out of the matrix unless you can afford to and are able to be utterly self sufficient. In other words - no chance in hell. The first time someone I knew had a SatNav installed in their car I pointed out the two edged sword aspect. You may be able to get from point A to Point B and know where you are but so can BB.
No escape,unless.............you are really "Off Grid"...................not saying it is good but also just evolution?(*sigh*) Mzzls
