Title: Fiero tracking?
Post by: GTRS Fiero on March 09, 2021, 07:42:04 pm

I'm not sure of the ethics on this.

I can track my computers, basically anywhere.  Not all of them, but the servers and any workstations.  Some years ago, someone stole a server from one of my clients.  The person thought he had defeated the tracking, but obviously not.  The tracker put us within 3 feet of the server.

Suppose I implemented such a tracking system on my Fiero.  This is reversible, but difficult.  If I later sold that Fiero, I would not be inclined to go through the trouble of removing the tracking.  In theory, I could track that Fiero, until it was melted down.  Hence the ethics issue.

If you told the new owner that it has a tracking system installed, then they can make the decision to remove or not.  Ethics crisis avoided.

The tracking is almost permanent.  Removal is difficult.  I don't mind telling them is is tracked, but no details.  I don't want people tracking me, or knowing too much about how it's done.
