Re: meh

The sheriff wasn't asking for them to turn it on and keep it on. He wanted it to be turned on for 5 or 10 minutes. Sure, the unconscious guy is going to run up a huge bill in 5 or 10 minutes.

 I think you are making an assumption that the CSR could do that. Maybe they could turn it on and then turn it off after a few minutes or they may not have that power. In any case I'm certain the CSR doesn't have the power to do that without getting in serious trouble. His/Her manager may be able to do that without getting in trouble (since the past due bill is still there) but I'm pretty sure the CSR couldn't do it. That suggests either the CSR should have escalated the call or the sherriff should have asked for it to be escalated.

Doesn't matter.. the law isn't above the law. Warrentless wire taps ok? Is it okay for them to use your phone as ANY aid in ANY law enforcement with out a warrent? Lines have to be drawn.. I'm glad Verizon did what they did.. it's not about money. You DO realize that the guy who owned that phone could actually SUE Verizon if they made any change to his account, for what ever reason, later if he decided to, right?

It's not always about the money.. that's a moot argument.
