🚨 Electronic devices or 'signal jammers' used in car thefts to be banned
—@BBCNews

｢ Until now, police could only bring a prosecution if they could prove a device had been used to commit a specific offence, but under new laws in the Crime and Policing Bill the onus will be on someone in possession of a device to show they had it for a legitimate purpose ｣

🎉BREAKING NEWS: The UK's genius plan to stop car thefts involves banning the magical signal jammers! 🤔 Because obviously, all criminals will suddenly become law-abiding citizens and return to stealing cars with their bare hands. 🚗💨 Who knew the solution was so simple? 👏

“#AutomotiveSecurity experts say they have uncovered a method of car theft relying on direct access to the vehicle's system bus via a smart headlamp's wiring.

It all started when a Toyota #RAV4 belonging to one of the tech gurus suffered suspicious damage to the front wing and headlight housing, and was eventually successfully stolen. Some sleuthing and reverse engineering revealed how the motor was finally nicked.

Ken Tindell, CTO of #Canis Automotive Labs, said the evidence pointed to thieves' successful execution of a so-called CAN #injection.

A Controller Area Network (#CAN) bus is present in nearly all modern cars, and is used by microcontrollers and other devices to talk to each other within the vehicle and carry out the work they are supposed to do.”

Is any car safe?

A great illustration of how experience affects perception.

I assumed the article was about making cars less lethal to pedestrians and cyclists. While cartoonish, the photo seemed like a good illustration of smaller cars being less lethal that giant pickups. And the steel bollards -- great way to keep cars off sidewalks!

Nope. It's about deterring car theft.

Annex Post magazine cover for November 2024. The photo shows a toy car behind some chonky steel bollards, with a large dog wearing a choke collar and clipped ears lying in front. Headline: Is any car safe? In smaller font under the car: A vehicle is stolen in T.O. every 50 minutes
