said by Logan 5:Maybe you aren't aware but even if the phone is off, you can still be tracked by Law enforcement (at least it's supposedly only them for now anyway....) as long as the battery is in the phone, even if the phone's built in GPS tracker is disabled..
Privacy has been bred out of our countries current quality of life for many reasons from the 'war' on terror to protecting our children and on and on and on....
Yup, have known cell phone privacy threats for over 15 years now. But the problem is not because of the reasons you mention, it was so that the cell companies could make more money. The government is just using what the cell companies already were doing as part of their business model.
