Does tracking your phone’s location violate your Fourth Amendment rights?

Tim Stevens — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 00:41:00 +0000

Sure, we like keeping track of where we've been, and about every day a new gadget comes along that allows us to better see the virtual breadcrumbs we've spread across the land. But, when it comes to letting the government snoop on our carb-loaded morsels, many of us are a little bit leery. Thus there is a growing debate about whether federal use of those breadcrumbs is legitimate, like the FBI identifying Texan bank robbers by co-locating phone calls made at various crime scenes. For its part the current administration indicates that you have no "reasonable expectation of privacy" when it comes to the location of your cellphone. This has members of the ACLU and EFF on-edge, but we're guessing that this doesn't concern any of you Latitude or Foursquare members in the slightest, yeah?

[Thanks, Joshua]
