stronger police state

Hello,
Do you have a cell phone? They are tracking.....

Very few people realize what a detailed record of your life that your cell phone provides.

In addition to call records and texts your location is available too.

Even if you aren't making calls, your location can be accurately tracked using triangulation from cell sites.

I would be surprised if law enforcement agencies get a warrant every time they track cell phone location.

If you are running from the cops:
1) pull the sim card from your phone and throw it away, or delete all the stored info and duct tape it to the bottom of a police car.

2) max out the cash from your credit/debit cards and throw them away so that you don't use them.

3) get a bicycle

4) change your hairstyle. Go for a complete makeover.

5) quit your job

6) move to another city, much different from your current city.

Thanks Koa.

just because the government can illegally track you by other methods, doesn't mean that they should be able to illegally track you by this method.

Google voice will be the next big wave, and when your voice mails are converted into text, they will be easy for government computers to search through all your calls in one easy location. Google scares me with the potential to know our every moment.

You'd make one hellava crook, Koa. You aren't one, are you?

7) Have a couple of spare IDs (or at least a couple of birth certificates for dead people who match your sex, race, approximate age, etc...) You'll eventually want to settle down and start a new life and you'll need a new identity.

No, Andy. I just watch a lot of TV and saw several good movies staring Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise.

8) in case you forgot to do #7, know some illegal Mexicans or college fraternity guys that can make you some fake IDs.
