Sprint gives over ALL YOUR information to Police - 8 million times!

yeah but really it just feels like we don't have "privacy" anymore.

Believe me, it's been years since anybody has had any real privacy.

Nobody that owns a computer has ever been totally "private"

true but it just seems like since they can do this theyll find you just for doing something dumb. what they going to come up with next. find out how fast were driving or if we went through a red light/stop sign from the gps and come and get us.

Like an earlier poster stated you can triangulate without GPS - If all the towers in the area are WPH2 compliant (Wireless Phase 2) which allows for terrestrial triangulation by calculating the amount of time it takes for your signal to reach a specific antenna on each tower your phone is in range of, and you are in an densly populated area with a lot of towers they can get your location within 30 feet (if you have a lot of towers) In rural areas this does not work very well & they fall back to WPH1, which just provides the tower you are currently using, increasing the area you could be in...


So turning off GPS in a densly populated area that has WPH2 hardware (TruePosition LMU's -Location Management Units) with a PSAP (Public Safety Access Point) that has the ability to map the location is useless.


Keep in mind a lot of PSAPS ( Which are the Districts) do not have mapping software & they only get the Latitude & Longitude information, which means they have to pull out a map or manually enter it online to find the location.

A few of the nicer PSAPS have mapping software & the instant you hit "send" they see your location on a map within a given margin of error

That might explain why he's your "EX" lol.
That won't get you in any trouble though. Unless you actually have bomb making ingredients handy. You don't do you? lol.

Yeah that's definitely part of why he's my ex! Always getting me into trouble, lol... No I'm not much of a terrorist. I'm about the most straight-edge, boring, law abiding person you'd ever meet.
