And it would notify your ex that you did so, no?

Apple has already done more than enough to discourage stalking. We shouldn’t nerf all our technology to the ground because assholes exist.

It's too late when they are notified. The last known address is where the victim is at.

  • The perpetrator has to already find the victim, and physically be there, to put the tag on the car

    • Meeting could happen in public, it doesn't mean they know their private address.

      For example, meet someone at a convention/fair/job, gift/sell them something which has a hidden tag, and then wait for them to drive to their hotel, or home. Gotcha. With influencer and celebs, you can also send something to their agency, and hope they are re-routed to their home. S** like that happened quite often until people learned to be more careful. Probably still sometimes happens even now.

    • On the car, not on the car at the victim's house.

      Or the much more, frankly common, scenario is: a $15 plushie bought through Amazon wishlist, sold by PerpOwned LLC for $500, and delivered through Amazon warehouse. That's actually happening.
