You have anything to back that up or just speculation?

And I mean I guess they can also illegally (and whose gonna stop them) force you to open your phone with a passcode or pattern as well.

You would stop them. By not giving it to them.

Of course there’s always torture, which cops have been known to do, but is probably “unlikely”.

newer Pixel and iPhone models seem to be the most resilient to these attacks

Pretty much exactly what one would expect, honestly. Especially with so many Android OEMs lacking critical security updates.

Yeah I’ve visited the local one but they are exorbitantly expensive. Like 6 figures. There’s a lot of custom fabrication involved. And at the end of it you still have a car that lacks modern safety features.

Hate to break it to you but spyware is in all cars, regardless of powertrain.

Not really anything to do with EVs, just that OEMs don’t seem to WANT to make cheap ones, for some reason. Think like a Chevy Spark but with 200+ miles of range.

Only way is to build your own.

btw is it possible if i use a high spec phone?

You can use it on a Raspberry Pi, which has about 1/2 the power of a modern smartphone. The main issue will be software and hardware compatibility.

Its just a people-searching tool similar to Spokeo or Intelius or one of hundreds of others. Nothing new.

Some might be shocked to see what kind of info you could find. Other more knowledgeable people know this is a thing that has existed for a long long time.
