said by NOVA_Guy:In the case you're discussion, though, wouldn't a person be approached by law enforcement and then give his/her consent for them to view the GPS records? This seems a far cry from what appears to be happening now, where law enforcement can seemingly get this data without particularly good reason or customer consent.
I don't necessarily have a problem with Sprint obtaining this information or storing it, so long as customers are informed and agree. I have a problem with Sprint releasing it willy-nilly for nearly any purpose without informing the customer or obtaining any consent at all.
I am not sure what hoops law enforcement has to jump through to get gps records, but I doubt that they need the subscriber's permission.
