I kinda wish that the government DID NOT have a tracking device tethered to me...but maybe that’s just me.

I'd prefer one that only activated when you called 911. Otherwise, it ain't nobody's business but my own.

They’d hit you up with the excuse (probably true too) that in many situations you can have cell phone coverage, but not GPS coverage.

I’d be happy with an “OFF” switch for GPS...but even then, how can one trust it, without removing the battery.

If your phone has GPS, the NSA can turn it on anytime they please.

My phone allows me to designate if a service gets my gps location.

OTOH, cell tower tracing is following you whenever your phone is on.
