Well, if it helps to catch criminals then I'm all for it. I'm not a crook so I could care less if they know where I went or am at. Not like I'm doing anything illegal. Just as long as whatever they do doesn't affect my daily life.

They'll have a great time looking through all my data. lol.

Sprint has been passing on GPS data to government agencies and stuff like that.

To be fair this is done by all wireless providers, not just Sprint. Sprint just got caught with their pants down due to some public comments.

I probably should watch out for which website I go to on my phone. Oops I'm posting this on the phone and now they have it on record.

Funny how this is getting attention like its something new. Even without GPS your device can still be tracked...thru basic phone records. They can determine your general location...if you add in triangulation between cell towers...well...you can put 3 and 3 together.

On GPS locations as long as your phone is TURNED ON...the phone can be located.

I have GPS locator working on all my lines...and the only time it WON'T give me a location of a device is when the phone is turned off...OR the battery is dead.

Most of those GPS location requests that were turned over to the "authorities" have to do with them tracking suspects...not any random person. Besides, if they were tracking A SINGLE suspect, they can collect up to thousands of GPS pings a day...depending on how often they update the person's location. Also, I highly doubt that Sprint would release any info on locations without a court order or some sort.

The thing that scares me about this is if you look up something questionable, then they could flag it or something. My ex always used to grab my phone & google stuff like 'how to make a bomb' along with all kinds of stuff about terrorism & drugs. He thought it was just the funniest thing ever cause whenever I'd catch him I'd get really mad & yell at him. Great, now that's on MY record. I'm gonna kick his a**.

Looks just like mine hahahahaha!=D>

wait so when can they look into your stuff? they can do it whenever they choose or do they need a reason of doing so?

I mean really, who cares.

Unless you're a major drug dealer who gives a s*** if they can track your location??
