Doesn’t need to be. If they know your home address they can just watch you from the moment you leave the front door. Most surveillance tools in active use cannot identify people. Investigators cross reference other information to verify identity.
Like flock cameras. Which read vehicle license plates and who knows what else they will program it to track.
You would need full coverage for that to work on its own, because as soon as you leave its range there’s ambiguity again about who the person being sensed is. Just disabling the camera probably would help in places where they aren’t dense enough for that.
You’re kind of combining 2 different things. Wifi sensing can be done with any wifi radio, not just the ones in flock cameras. Lack of coverage isn’t really an issue given the proliferation of wifi networks.
I mentioned flock license plate readers to illustrate an exterior tool that can be cross referenced to verify an ambiguous identity; in line with them using your residence as a reference point. Other options include payment card usage, cell phone tower connections, or good ole visual ID (from a person).
I had a guy come out and install the fiber, learned that I could not run my own hardware, and discovered why (see above). Then canceled the service all in the same day. Fuck those assholes.
Unless you’re smart enough to leave your phone at home.
And your BT headphones, smart watch, airtags, pervert glasses, etc.
Wifi can be used as radar to detect people in real time.
You can detect a person with it, but it’s not sensitive enough to identify the person.

Proliferation of wifi routers does not necessarily mean there is a convenient central repository of their data, but I do see the risk
yet
It only needs to be able to track legs for gait analysis
Great now we need pebbles in our shoes at home to?!
Not only can it, Xfinity is currently doing it with their required wifi router:

If I had any of those things, I’d also leave them at home.
THEN WHAT WOULD I DO OUTSIDE
Subversive things.
I hear that tho.
