Could I make a little gun and just walk around through the parking lot and aisles of the supermarket and freeze all the carts in place?

I want to answer your question, but
Means I won’t do so. Why would you do that to people?
Some people just want to see the world burn. Better something mildly inconvenient like this than, say, voting fascists into power for the lulz, I guess.
I vote for neither.
Your shopping cart will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes
Because it’s funny.
I’m guessing it’s similar technology to invisible dog fences with an underground boundary wire with a signal that could easily be spoofed.
There are valid applications for it. It could be used to slow shop lifters if they are trying to use a cart to get to a vehicle in the parking lot. It could also be used to help close specific aisles or portions of the store where customers should not be.
This guy does not seem like he’s interested in ‘valid applications’, he’s interested in being a dick.
I would jump straight to “being a dick,” I have had many of these thoughts that I would never actually do in real life, but I want to know if it’s possible so I can shit on dumb technology hahaha
Yes, there could be valid usecases to stop a cart, but the manufacturer of the carts should (and possibly already does) implement that and instruct the store on its usage/requirements.
