Is your company car or lorry / truck equipped with a GPS system and monitored by your boss? You have no chance of being undisturbed once in a while?
Do you suspect your jealous partner of having you watched?
Modern technology means that you may be constantly being monitored without even noticing it!
Tracking devices are becoming increasingly compact and unobtrusive. They can be installed within seconds, record your route or relay accurate information on your location to within a few meters via mobile phone around the clock anywhere in the world. You are being tracked like a mad dog or ruthless employer who needs to know your whereabouts 27/7.
With these GPS tracker blockers you can protect your privacy and disappear for a while!
Become invisible for GPS monitoring for a short period and not feel like the “Fugitive”!
Using GPS blockers, GPS positioning systems become ineffective irrespective of where they are installed or hidden. Just switch on your GPS blocker and you disappear instantaneously.
I wonder if this technology could be used to … lower … your miles traveled taxes?

That’s actually a very intriguing question. If GPS can be blocked then the GPS-based gas tax scheme seems like a non-starter.
Someone on Blue Oregon suggested that a mileage-based gas tax could be done without GPS by relying on mechanical means – ala the good old fashioned speedometer. Seems like it ought to be doable and would avoid the civil rights Pandora’s box that the GPS scheme appears to represent. Although if GPS can be blocked then perhaps it doesn’t…

As long as there have been taxes, there have been people willing to evade them. GPS/mileage taxes are no different. Within days of such a tax’s implementation, there would be computer hacks offering to make you invisible. Just another example of government bureaucrats trying to figure out how to get in your pockets.
