"Matt Geouge is building a device that blocks vehicles from spying on their drivers, because in 2018 his fiancée noticed grey Toyota Tacomas were following her.
Geouge had started a smalltime diesel operation in his mother’s garage in Hendersonville, North Carolina, his senior year of high school. As emissions systems on diesel trucks grew more constraining throughout the early 2000s, Geouge started writing “delete” software tunes that let trucks disobey the systems and regain their horsepower.
That got farmers’ and truckers’ rigs out of the emissions handicap, or “limp” mode. It also snowballed into a multi-million-dollar business and earned widespread renown for Geouge, at least in Ford aftermarket circles.
But Geouge’s work also landed him in the federal government’s crosshairs because deleting runs afoul of federal emissions laws.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency hit Geouge with a $4 million civil penalty in 2018, court documents say.
That was about when the grey SUVs started following Caroline Jackson, Geouge’s fiancée, the couple told Cowboy State Daily in separate interviews Friday.
No one believed Jackson for three months, she said.
She climbed the Blue Ridge Parkway until cellphone service vanished. She drove to rock quarries and deep into the Cherokee Indian reservation.
Even when she could ditch the tails, they always found her again, Jackson said.
Along for the ride, her 7-year-old son thought they were going on an “adventure.”"
