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.

      BLE would fall under BT, so I would think so. Airplane mode would disable all radios.

          My old phone is still Android 12, if I enable Airplane mode, WiFi, cell, BT turn off immediately. Idk About newer OSes like that says. You could maybe it’s a different phone with BLE to test scanning for other devices?? Idk, I gotta look into this one now! TY for sharing.
