Figures.
Track ordinary Americans, but not terrorist cells.
Incompetent, freedom-hating boobs.

U.S. Department of Justice lawyers say that "a customer's Fourth Amendment rights are not violated when the phone company reveals to the government its own records" that show where a mobile device placed and received calls...

What is most interesting about this, and the author IMO intentionally left it out, is this question; Did the feds in past instances have a warrant to obtain this tracking information? Is the current administration seeking to avoid the warrant requirement through assuming that we have no right to privacy? It appears this is the actual intent of this entire argument, and would not surprise me one bit if this is the current administration's push.

I will go for this if I am allowed to audit all of Obama’s cell phone calls and e mail every day.

Conversely, cell phone records have been ruled inadmissible in court to establish an alibi since such records only establish the device’s whereabouts not its owner’s.

"
In that case, the Obama administration has argued that warrantless tracking is permitted because Americans enjoy no "reasonable expectation of privacy" in their--or at least their cell phones'--whereabouts"
I was just last year obama was talking about bringing up charges against Bush for tapping TERRORIST phones...now he wants to do it to Americans...again, this photo says everything anyone would ever want to know about barack hussein obama...the muslim.

There are many Statist Freepers that agree with Obama’s ‘no expectation of privacy’ rationale. I get that line thrown at me constantly on threads dealing with privacy issues.

Haven’t drug dealers already solved this problem with throwaways? The feds are soon going to push for limited-use cell phones to be banned, thereby closing the “Throwaway Loophole”.

Or just take the battery out.
To: Tublecane
pay as you go requires no contract, and they do not verify your ID.

I feel that way. Not in a moral sense, but for practicality’s sake. Anyone who thinks they have privacy on the internet or the telephone is an idiot.

In before the “if you’re not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to fear from the government” idiots.

There is a way to get those on the left to fight this.
California should announce that if the Feds can do it Cali can do it also.
California can then track the cell phones of all the Hollywood players who claim tax residence in no tax states - Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington and Wyoming - and prove they spend more than 50% of their time in their California residence. Then make them pay for all the liberal nonsense they push down the throats of other taxpayers.

Practically? Anyone who believes that in practice no privacy exists is an idiot. Wow, it IS easy to put up bovine scat in place of a real argument. And it’s FUN too!/s
