Re: 911?

As to the Fourth Amendment, it only applies to things that qualify as a reasonable expectation of privacy and furthermore, you must make an effort to ensure that expectation is met. In other words, if you leave GPS enabled on your phone and then try an invoke the Fourth Amendment as protection from a law enforcement officer using that information, you're up the creek because you didn't take reasonable steps to protect your own privacy.
So pray tell what reasonable steps I need to take to protect my privacy, while still retaining the ability to use my phone GPS?

I look forward to your reply.
They are mutually exclusive. In other words, you can't. If you want to use your phone's GPS you give up that right.

You have just trashed the 4th Amendment. If your opinion of the Constitution coincides with that of just a single person in Government, then these are sad days indeed.

The 4th amendment doesn't require anyone I choose to do business with to treat my information privately. That's a function of the conditions I set forth as part of them doing business with me.

Why do you believe otherwise?

I really wish that the market would start offering phones without any sort of GPS capability-- even when calling 911. Not being able to be precisely located in an emergency is a risk I'll happily take if that's what needs to happen to retain some degree of privacy.

To all liberals: I am NOT one of your parents, so get the heck out of my wallet. It's time for you to grow up and take some personal responsibility for taking care of yourselves, which means not relying on the government to give it all to you.

The phone's GPS is not under your control. Whether you use Wayfinder/Google Maps/whatever makes no difference regarding the ability of the network to track you.

It's wierdo, not weirdo. Yes, I know that's not the 'proper' spelling of the similar english language word.
