Is Your Local Law Enforcement Tracking Your Cell Phone's Location?

In a massive coordinated information-seeking campaign, 35 ACLU affiliates filed over 380 requests in 31 states with local law enforcement agencies large and small to uncover when, why and how they are using cell phone location data to track Americans.

1. Please kick this so everyone knows how to find out if cops are tracking cell phones in their area.

2. Hard to believe that Indiana isn't doing it, too, but it seems that they aren't. YET...

3. I wouldn't assume that.

The map just indicates the 31 states the ACLU filed requests in, not that the other states don't have agencies that do it as well.

4. I ALWAYS assume someone is listening when I talk on the phone. Since the day I tried to attend a

speech and wasn't allowed in - http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x2183321

5. As I related on an earlier thread

When I had a flat tire on the freeway, I called 911 to ask for a tow truck or someone who could change the tire (I'm an old lady and I gave up tire changing a while back). The operator said they would send the State Patrol. How nice! I started to tell her where I was and she said, "that's ok, we already have your location." Tracked by my cell phone. In Washington state.

6. And some claim that we're paranoid!
