How would one go about FOI requesting the location of all these devices?



Federal government will say it's a local issue, talk to SPD. SPD will eventually cite confidentiality agreements with Aruba Networks. When pressed, one of them will provide outdated and/or incomplete data citing jurisdictional boundaries and pleading lack of technical resources to adequately address the request.

They've already repeated the drone playbook, public apologies and assertions that only certain capabilities will be used.


Your answer sounds suspiciously like "give up before trying". I say the correct answer is try, and if you're thwarted, think about it and try some more.

If anyone is interested in getting involved, you can call or email the EFF. [1] They've done stuff like this before, and they'll help you get started. If you want someone else to get involved, donate to the EFF. [2] Or even the ACLU [3], because they'll eventually be the ones to defend some victim of the system.

So? Sue them.

And make sure to put this on the election agenda. Track a few politicians going to their mistresses to drive the point home.
