      Credit cards have rfid which requires very close proximity. Even if they did have rfid capabilities (which is highly unlikely) there’s no way they could get a scan of your card. CCs don’t broadcast, they are only passive at close proximities, which is by design.

      Flocks aren’t reported to have any capability to track wifi/Bluetooth. Leonardo cameras are though. As always, best to leave your phone off, in a faraday bag or at home when doing illegal things. Reading your CC data over nfc is just silly. Even if it had the hardware equipped you’d have to be up on the pole dry humping the thing for it to power the chip through your pocket.

      I advocate for fighting state surveillance, but let’s not get carried away with hyperbole or we end up sounding like the “5g lets bill gates lobotomize you remotely” crowd.

        That’s true, but there are also Bluetooth scanners that could be used to prove someone’s in a nearby location

        I’m going out on an ignorant limb and assume contactless cards work by closing an induction circuit, so i assume you’d have to be really close to the camera to be detected.
        Depending on how you… er… stumble into the camera that might be a risk.
