Can’t the government already locate phones for missing persons? I don’t know if that requires a warrant or what, but I seem to remember hearing about locating the last “ping” of a phone to a tower for many missing persons cases.
- lisper 8y agoYes, but that's very different from having the phone send out GPS coordinates, which are orders of magnitude more accurate. Also, there's no way to avoid triangulating your location from phone-tower pinging. That's just inherent in the way cell phones work. But sending GPS info is (or at least should be) optional.
