Police Are Using Phone Tracking as a Routine Tool
http://j.mp/HIfmAa (New York Times - Legit Story despite the date)
"The internal documents, which were provided to The New York Times,
open a window into a cloak-and-dagger practice that police officials
are wary about discussing publicly. While cell tracking by local
police departments has received some limited public attention in the
last few years, the A.C.L.U. documents show that the practice is in
much wider use - with far looser safeguards - than officials have
previously acknowledged."

Somebody should have done a "Congress wants law making it illegal
to turn off your cellphone" April Fools' Day piece today.
