Is this individual tracking legal in the United States?

  No, but your wireless carrier has all the information, and if you have an Android phone with location services turned on, then Google has it all too.

    So don't bring your phone during your excursions?

      They regularly call to check you have it with you.

      Right, but the point is that all this hand-wringing about people's privacy is ridiculous when the data is already there anyway. If anything, the refusal to use it for a public good seems like it may be more about not causing a panic where everyone simultaneously wakes up to what a privacy fiasco it is carrying a modern phone on your person.

  That applies to people put under quarantine. I'm not sure if the US has a similar tracking system in place, but they can heavily restrict your freedoms if you're under quarantine. Presumably you'd be given a choice of the aggressive tracking or be locked up somewhere.
