One man who wants to remain anonymous posted a video showing himself driving around Manhattan with a device on his dashboard that makes a cow mooing sound signaling that your privacy is being compromised by something sitting right in your own car: your E-ZPass tag.

In a blog, the driver says he rigged this “cow” so it would go off whenever E-ZPass technology was being used. You can see for yourself: it’s going off in the middle of New York City, nowhere near a toll plaza.

These contraptions, which reportedly went up citywide over the last few months on traffic lights, are what are reading your E-ZPass tag.
