post- #Dobbs legal landscape…opened the door for #lawenforcement to exploit virtually any form of data—license plates, phone records, #geolocation data—to pursue individuals across state lines…more than 1,800 agencies have deployed ALPRs, but at least 4,000 agencies are able to run searches through some agencies in Flock's network…share the data freely with other agencies across the country, with little oversight, restriction, or even standards for accessing data.

I guess this is what happens when Google Maps uses adjacent tiles taken at very different times of the year, although I cannot say I have ever noticed it before.

This is a super easy geolocation. (Look at the unique architecture and the storefront advertising.)

@cvvhrn Somewhere around 56.619482,-4.9308398 Helpfully labeled "Skyfall scene" in the Google Maps. Looks like the bikepacking route is about one loch over. #geolocation
Kennt jemand einen #PositionsTracker der ohne Google und Apple einsetzbar ist?
Am besten mit #FOSS auf dem Gerät?

Geolocation case solved on the @Bellingcat Discord 🕵️♂️🌍
A video claimed to show wind turbines arriving in La Guajira, Colombia — but it was actually filmed in Oklahoma, USA.
The fact-check is now live on Colombiacheck:

We will be hosting a workshop on AI support for #geolocation at #nr25 - from using prompts as a sparring partner to analyze images or write Overpass queries to tools like Earth Kit and Geospy. Any suggestions what needs to be included?
Still finding my footing in this space.
Been working through high-difficulty geolocation challenges solo — learning a lot, failing a lot, tracking until something clicks.
Not sure who else works like this — patient, slow, detail-first.
If you're out there, I’d value knowing. Even just to follow along.
Been learning OSINT for about two months.
Mostly geolocation so far — image tracing, terrain matching, and narrowing search areas by instinct and satellite.
I’ve started logging field cases on Medium.
Not claiming expertise — just documenting how I work under pressure, and what I see when I slow down.
If you're training too, or want to compare notes, I’m around.
