Well, it's my phone and service, I paid for it, and I want to give the police the address of the perpetrators for them to check out.
But, no, I'm not allowed to do that, because privacy; and, no, the police in California won't do that, either, because courts are overcrowded, and they don't feel like asking the judge for a warrant that AT&T requires.
I don't think the criminals who steal my device are supposed to have any privacy rights. Just sayin'.
