that would capture not only the license plate of passing vehicles, but also sweep up unique identifiers of mobile phones, wearables, and other Bluetooth-enabled devices in those cars,
-- potentially letting law enforcement identify specific drivers or passengers.
The technology, called #SignalTrace…

This Company Will Add Phone, AirPod, and Smartwatch Trackers to License Plate Readers
SignalTrace “links devices that regularly travel together, correlating them to license plate.” It is a surveillance product that will sweep up and add all sorts of Bluetooth and other data to license plate readers, linking specific devices—and people—to cars.

Sovereignty Is Engineered, Not Procured
Europe often asks whether it can build a company like Palantir: a software champion capable of serving intelligence, defence, law enforcement, crisis response, cyber defence, and public-sector decision-making at scale.
The usual answer is that Europe lacks data, capital, talent, or legal room. I do not think this is the full story.
