What I want to know is with all this big brother and technology, why can’t the towers or ‘system’ work off the fact the calls are making it to a working phone. Just use the gps data or tower data when the call is processed to locate the phone itself.
This is totally within the realm of technology, I can’t buy that no law enforcement can’t do this.
Need a warrant for the cellular companies to release info....plus you have to hit three towers for a true triangulation....two will give you an area plus approximate distance.....one general direction and approximate distance.....
I imagine if the search went longer they may have submitted for a warrant...
Maybe it requires answering the phone?
