Under the plans, which have been discussed with regulators in Brussels and Ireland, Meta would offer an ad-free version of Instagram and Facebook for those willing to pay, or a free version for those who consent to be targeted by ads based on their personal information, these people said.

You can adjust the wait between scans in the script, I have it set to 12 seconds by default. But if you set it to 1, I think I anecdotally found it complete a scan every 5-6 seconds with my setup. It detects cop cars driving by at night if I leave it on in my living room.

 

I watched a couple really interesting talks from this past Def Con. In one of the talks, Snoop Unto Them As They Snoop Unto Us, Null Agent points out that all Axon equipment (the company putting tasers on drones) share the same organizationally unique identifier (OUI) and communicate via Bluetooth Low Energy. When you pull your firearm or taser from an Axon holster, it can be set up to signal your bodycam to automatically turn on, for example. So by snooping on the BLE data channels you can look for Axon's OUI and infer that a law enforcement officer is within your Bluetooth range (max 300ft or so in optimal conditions).

That's all this script does. If it detects Axon equipment it plays a sound, alerts on your terminal, and logs the MAC address / time of encounter. I run it on my laptop in my living room with a super cheap Bluetooth adapter and I get notified when there are cops outside. Couple this with listening to your local police / public safety radio and you'll never be surprised by a no-knock again.
