Big brother is watching you.

Washington State Patrol bought anonymous cellphone data that reveals where drivers are speeding and texting while driving so that they can target their surveillance to those areas. 

"Cellphone data from more than 1 million cellphone users in Washington in 2023 helped the state identify where to look for dangerous drivers...
The commission used state funding to purchase telematic data gathered by Michelin Mobility Intelligence to show when and where drivers were speeding, braking, and talking and texting while driving." 

If you don't know the reference to "Big Brother," it's from George Orwell.
