79% of smart dash cams we tested had security flaws and concerns, and in some cases they were breaking the law - Out of 28, only six didn't have any concerns.

    So does my car with its “disabled” cell connection that promises not to broadcast my whereabouts.

    Find the antenna and physically unplug it.

      Physically unplugging it may not be enough and risks permanent damage. Installing a 50ohm terminator is a much safer option on all accounts and takes just about the same amount of effort as unplugging it ( ~$10 extra).
