Cell phone study raises privacy issues

Study tracking people via cell phone raises privacy issues
Northeastern University researchers determine people tend to stay close to home for months at a time by tracking 100,000 cell phone users in an undisclosed industrial nation outside the U.S.

What really worries me is big brothers ability to track us at any time
Yes I realize it has been used to solve crimes

Most newer cphones have a gps receiver in them.
Unless you disable it, you are giving up your location all the time.

Usually buried in the menus of each phone is a command to only provide gps location during a 911 call.
Some phones default to gps always on, others don't.

Research into using your cphone as a speed detection device is ongoing.
It's proven to work well enough to use regularly.

The govmt, thru CALEA, is legally able to wiretap a cphone &/or track it.
Supposedly, wiretapping laws prevent abuses & random listening.
