A key basis for the ruling: The use of cell phones is "entirely voluntarily" and therefore individuals who use them have forfeited the right to constitutional protection for records showing where they have been used, the court held.

You've got to be kidding. By the same logic, use of a landline telephone is completely voluntary, and therefore the government can listen in on everyone's phone calls without a warrant.

Well said, Thane_Banquo. Apparently, if we voluntarily do anything, we voluntarily throw away our Fourth Amendment rights.

Interesting though, how the government has to provide them for free because it's an essential need.
