I have Sprint, and I think my phone has an option to turn the GPS
feature off.
Also, the article I think mis-states AT&T's ability to track phones,
which it does via a combination of GPS-capable phones and TDOA (time
difference of arrival) methods.

As for tracking in general, if a Judge orders it, I'm fine with it.
But not if the orders become so commonplace, that anyone, for any or
no reason, can obtain one.

Even without detailed tracking, you can glean a lot just from where
the call was initially *handled* as reported in your phone records.
My ex-BinL discovered this when I handed my sister's lawyer a list
of the days and times he was screwing his mistress :-/ Apparently,
he had failed to realize the paper trail he was leaving (cell phone,
ATM cards, credit cards, etc.)

"So what I want to do is to be completely agnostic, in terms of
solutions."

Obama is agnostic on solutions... so that means he doesn't believe in
solutions?

Hey, move to Haiti... and be on the receiving end of US out-of-control

That is a damned sight better than the way the profiling bastards
currently solve ZERO crime unless it falls in their laps, which is why
they do the profiling thing. The only way they can nab a dealer is if
they perform as many illegal searches they can. The sad part is that it
invariably ends up causing problems for the regular citizenry.

Partial solutions, IN ORDER:
1) ALL searches are illegal by anybody for any reason unless agreed upon
by ALL directly affected parties, PERIOD.
2) ALL drugs are made legal, just tax them like is (now) done with alcohol.
3) Abandon, discard, forbid the so-called TSA (security? what is that?
Oh...5 gov paid snoozing idiots for each awake dunderhead).
4) Pass a law that EVERY congress critter MUST follow exactly all laws
and regulations that they have passed and will pass; AND that they shall
have NO privileges other than US "voters".
5) Pass a law that cannot be broken that for ANY lawmaking group to pass
a law that group MUST FIRST repeal at least three other laws.
(oops! we have so many...make that "repeal at least 100 laws" ; slightly
more equitable).
A start....small start; better than none.

JT > And turn off your cell phones...

I seem to recall that in some cases even
if they are off they aren't really off.

This part of that cnet article hints at that quirk.

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-10451518-38.html

A 2008 court order to T-Mobile in a criminal investigation of a
marriage fraud scheme, which was originally sealed and later made
public, says: "T-Mobile shall disclose at such intervals and times as
directed by (the Department of Homeland Security), latitude and
longitude data that establishes the approximate positions of the
Subject Wireless Telephone, by unobtrusively initiating a signal on
its network that will enable it to determine the locations of the
Subject Wireless Telephone."

I was born and raised in Minnesota.
The kook left there takes their domination
as absolute and guaranteed.
There is a terrible lack of competitive thoughts.
A leftistl friend once complained it's politically inbred.

The political competition between the two major
parties in Iowa is a slight improvement.
Neither party dominates to the point of
being "inbred" as for political thought.

Left wingers from other states who pay
attention close up would be amazed just how
oppressive they are about dismissing right
wingers.

This tends to make the right wingers
more sarcastic than in other states.

Given this incubater of the extreme left
there are more avowed socialists and
avowed communists and more zombie
left wingers who see a right wing view
as a challenge to their ""religion"" or
their entire inculcated world view.

The Land O Humphrey and Mondale
has had waves of disillusionment about
BOTH parties, probably because most
of the conservatives presented there were
RINO and not true conservatives.

When the Obama administration lies,
reversing position after big RANTING,
steam rollers (30 Czars??) or takes
things for granted it looks VERY
familiar to me.

Take heart though, because given this
much rope, they always seem to hang
themselves.

I've preached a few times about the
insidiousness of gradual socialism.
Inch by inch, baby step by baby step
we are heading right down the slippery slope.

Gradualism is a trap, like the gradually boiled frog.
We don't rebel because the change is so gradual.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_frog

The Fabian gradualists crest is a wolf in sheep clothing.

I'm guessing that President Obama is thinking of this:

http://www.google.com/search?q=define:agnostic

someone who is doubtful or noncommittal about something

He made such a BIG PROMISE regarding this
and now he's expressing doubt that he'll be able
to keep his promise about not taxing the middle class.

Another politician who can't keep his promises?

No!

You're a fucking idiot. Have you never watched "Cops"? The profiling
behavior is blatant.

Then, there is experiencing it first hand as well, of course.

You have never seen a cop pull someone over for a ticket, and it
requires 3 cops to show up so they can shake down the car?

You are a fucking loon. And no, there was no politically motivated
reaction at all, you stupid twit.

And NO, you stupid fuck, I gave no endorsement for any of the practices
mentioned by the thread either.

Term limits work to empower the civil service bureaucracy, the
un-elected legislative staffs, and the special interest lobbyists.

For all their faults, elected officials are ultimately answerable at
elections and have to satisfy their voting constituents if they want to
keep the perks and remain in office.

Term limits artificially remove that accountability. When legislators
are all newbies who know they're out of office soon regardless of how
well (or poorly) they perform, well, legislative power doesn't go away,
it just collects in someone else's hands.

We just had a settlement announced today here between the Arizona

the AG peruse all records of money transfers, at will!

Now I understand that the issue at hand has to do with illegal
immigrants (and drug dealers) transferring money to/from Mexico. But
it sure opens too many doors :-(

I think he feared that the movie would give terrorist organizations
ideas on how to do it... like run an Islamist thug from Chicago,
cloaked in political correctness, evil-rich-banker platitudes and
promises of wealth redistribution... something like that.

Of course nothing like that could really happen, now could it ?:-)

OK. Show me where it was shown between the original release and his
death. I tried to find even contraband videos, but none was to be
found (I saw it in-theater at original release). I did find "Name of
the Rose" (*) in Brazil YEARS before it was available in the US...
somewhat ratty, but it sufficed until the US caught up ;-)

I'm a bit of a nut with good (old) movies... 300+ DVD's in my
collection.

WRONG!

The movie was shown for two weeks in 1962, and then got pulled by Uncle
Sam himself.

It never aired again until AFTER it was made into a Laser Disc release
in the mid 80s.

Sinatra died AFTER the Laser Disc and VHS releases in 1998.

Try again, asshole. Try for a real fact next time.

Try "Fetiche" or "The Mascot" circa 1934 by Ladislas Starewicz. Also
known as "The Devil's Ball".

It will show you where you are heading. Exactly where you are heading.

If you can enjoy animation Jim, watch 'Heavy Metal' through to the end then
compare that with The Fifth Element.

Remember your post, some time back, about the U.S. Coast Guard searching
some poor shmuck's fishing boat EVERY time he took it out off the
Florida coast? We found out then that 4th Amendment rights against
unreasonable search only apply _inside_ your home. Not in your car,
boat, or even your own back yard. The Supreme Court has consistently
said so.

There were a couple extensive wikipedia pages about it all. I'll look
again later.
There was one case cited, about cops ignoring "No Trespassing" signs,
entering someone's private property without any warrant or court order,
and finding drugs. I think they found a marijuana patch. The court ruled
that since no privacy could be reasonably expected outdoors, no "search"
had occurred. And since there was no search, there was no unreasonable
search. Simple as that.

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution>

Okay, cars have a "reduced expectation of privacy", but not none. Unless
they're in the vicinity of an international airport, of course, which
could turn an unreasonable search into a Border Search Exception.

Here's the catchall that nailed the pot grower I mentioned:
"Not all actions by which governmental authorities obtain information
from or about a person constitute a search. Therefore, government action
triggers the amendment's protections only when the information or
evidence at issue was obtained through a "search" within the meaning of
the amendment. If no search occurs, no warrant is required. Generally,
authorities have searched when they have impeded upon a person's
reasonable expectation of privacy."

How does this "third party" thing work ?

If I ask you (any you) to spy on Jim T. and I use that information in
court, but I saw I did not get that information, "I got it from a third
party", why is that not spying ?!

Does anyone have links to this argument ?

describes as a “knowledgeable source” claims that 8 million Americans
are now listed in the Main Core database as potentially suspect. Main
Core is a database of enemies of the state established several decades
before as a part of the Continuity of Government (COG) program (see
1980s or Before). In the event of a national emergency, the suspects
could be subject to, for example, heightened surveillance, tracking,
direct questioning, or even detention. [Radar, 5/2008]

The entire Bush era was a national emergency. The boob would raise the
threat level to Orange whenever his support was sagging, like right
before the 2004 election.

In the UK there are elections coming up.
What the govt needs is a big terrorist scare.
It would also help if things went well in Afghanistan, but the Taliban
might not cooperate. Better to keep the troops in base and claim that
it's all quietened down because of our success.
