Are police tracking you (via cell phone) without a warrent?

Civil liberties groups want to know too:

Yikes!

We put GPS units in everything these days. People are surprisd your location can be tracked without them knowing about it.

It's why I dont own a cell phone and disconnected the OnStar in my car.

Crush it?

[torn asunder]

Crush it?

but... but... i just got it!!

seriously, i'd really hate to have to leave it off unless i had to make a call - damn inconvenient!!

[sass_in_the_pants]

Ahahahaha...

See, I keep my celly off because I don't want to talk to anybody (shit, I'm tired of being your organ-grinder-monkey! Tell me something funny, Sass. Cheer me up, Sass. Give me the money you owe me, Sass. Sheesh! LEAVE ME ALONE!)

So, NOW I can tell people that my celly is off because I don't want the man to track me. Clever...very clever...

"They" can also listen to you through your telephone, even if you are not connected ad hoc with someone else.

A motorcycle club I run with found this out the hard way. Therefore, no phones allowed in the clubhouse anymore.

If they want to spy on me, go right fucking AHEAD. Obviously, there are not enough rapists, theives, and murderers in the world to bother with. *straightface*

A friend of mine as far back as 96 could pick up cell calls on a not too big receiver box.....that thing spooked me out!

there is NO WAY to turn off GPS functions of phones.. even if there is a setting to turn it off. That only affects the interface.

yeah, i know - i was just hoping...

as a side question, is the gps active or passive? (does the phone transmit a signal constantly, or is it like an rf chip, where something's got to be actively looking for it, to find it?)

Ditto. The "acronym agencies" can also watch real-time through your cameraphone lens and turn the phone on and off remotely. Members of the Mafia have been caught this way.

Active. Even if the phone is turned off. You can remove the battery when the phone's not in use and that'll disable the GPS.

This is JUST what I was saying about three or four posts up..

And my opinion still stands about c**t bitches who spy on the little fish, while Rome burns.

Active, it's constantly pinging up to the satellites/towers giving away your hiding spot

Not as long as I have air to breathe, and lungs to breathe it.

same here,I'll die before I become one of their slaves

what kills me is so so many ppl believe in the system and

Fox News,and seriously think there is nothing wrong.(sigh)

[know_buddy_kares]

There may be some companies that don't do this, however I don't know wich ones those would be. I don't know the cellphone manufacturers that well however the real trick (probably impossible) is to find a cellphone maker that doesn't do this and also see that it's for use with a service provider that doesn't record your conversations.

Cleary AT&T is not the way to go, they fully admitted to doing this, hell when the govt asked them to do it, they were more than happy to agree with it. T-Mobil will neither admit or deny such accusations.. wich leads me to belive they too tap phones.

[jynxxxedangel]

It's alarming, isn't it?? *sigh*

Odd thing is... it's legal. You agree to it contractually.

I mean... how many of you actually read the whole contract? Every line? No matter how small and hard to read it was?

EULA will be the death of Freedom.

You know its bad when you can't even say "Fuck The World" without being looked at as a threat to the world,its all about fear(being sarcastic)
