And phone companies have been turning the third party caller information over to police, credit card companies and others for years. Heck even the Supreme court has recently ruled that dispensing this third party information is OK with them. Pssst, wanna buy the phone records to your phone ... they are for sale on the net.

You think you have a right to privacy when you use the phone companies lines? Where did that come from. Even the dunces amongst us know their every communication is subject to monitoring. And we don't even have to hearken back to the Clinton Echelon system or dig through the fine print of the Clinton era CALAE statutes.

The courts recently ordered ISPs to comply with the CALAE law since they were now making phone like connections.

You need to read more and stay off the loony left web sites.

Calling records to the police requires a warrant. And credit card companies cannot arrest people.

Uh, yes, from the government. That is why proble cause is required to tap a phone.

Unghhhh - the hits just keep on coming. It's like people have not just forgotten the notion of basic liberty, but now point and make a weird noise at anyone stating such, like in Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
