Wow, this is the ultimate stalker tool. Some kid gives old guy her number on Myspace, old guy tracks her down.. and you know what happens from there.

I don't even use a cellphone. There is always someone near by that has one, so if I bum around enough, someone will let me use theirs.

Cell phones suck. People aren't that important to be in constant contact all the time.

cool! i want one of those!
this will make most of the jobs of people much easier.

I also hate cell phones as alot of people have them but don't necessarily need them. Its just a big fad.

They are not, if you use them properly..........

For big time buisness people then yes but not for a 12year old kid. Whenever I am downtown I alwayts see a kid who is very young, lets say 12 years old and youger, talking on a cell phone.

Personnally they should be used for emergencies and for buisness calls. Get an answering machine and screw the cell phone as what important news couldn't wait til you get home?

that should be the right way.
if some people use it in a wrong way, then there is no solution for that.

Yeah like talking on your cell phone and driving.

or just sticking to the phone 24 hours a day.

The point is that no one needs to be tracked, period.

It could potentially help to catch people who have commited crimes, but in hindsight police agencies have been able to do such things with help from the phone companies for nearly a decade, ever since cell phones switched to digital signals.

Tracking people like this is illegal without their consent. Business people that have GPS in their cars cannot legally track people outside of business hours.
