Re: WTF

said by amigo_boy:

Is there a law requiring telcos to receive a warrant before releasing position information?

I know they're subject to statutory damages if they release call records without a warrant (although there are a couple exceptions which have been discussed in the context of telcos assisting NSA). But, is position information protected the same way?
I seem to recall that the courts hold call meta data (origination number, termination number, time of call, duration, etc), to a different standard than the contents of the call. I suspect GPS data falls into the meta data category.
