Because sometimes it is in your house and AT&T told me they can't track to coordinates like some apps can.

Sorry what I meant to say was that I recently seen news footage on the DC news about 3 individuals who lives were changed basically over smartphones being stolen. Recently Two young women were harassed and robbed of their phones by some cold hearted kids from the southeast part of DC on a metro line. Then another story of a guy who was beaten almost to death for his. Its gotten bad where I think laws should be stiffened for these crimes. I don't believe "bricking" the devices from the carriers end will curb the violence but I personally believe laws with harsher punishment s will. It may or may not work but something has to be done. That's what i was referring to in my OP. I was just in a hurry posting .

But back to my earlier point, doesn't it kinda give ya the creepy-crawlies and ewie jeewies . . .that if you can so easily do all that, then how are we to know, for sure, that gov agencies and/or corps, or whoever, aren't doing the same thing? It kinda creeps me out, frankly, that todays~ take a pic of the thief, wipe the phone, lock it and GPS it with a map sent to me, down to coordinates. ~ I like I can take a remote front or back pic and that my signal and picture taking are stealth so they don't ditch it before the cops get there.

I guess that Enemy of the State movie, as well as Conspiracy Theory, kinda gave me the creeps about stuff that can track you, unawares. lolWell I can only do that through my app and the Commander that comes with it. If the gov't wants a pic of me, not much to see lol
Good on you!I am a magistrate in Atlanta ~ Its my general experience that phone co.'s do not give up data to local cops without a search warrant or court order and, I, personally, require a showing that data relevant to a crime will be obtained before I will authorize a warrant or order. At least around here, police can not just go fishing in your data without a warrant just the same as they can't go through your house.
Good on you!
Nevertheless, since mobile & smartphone technology has been advancing so quickly, over the last 20 years, as I understand it, search warrants are only required in some states;

Tuesday: Federal Appeals Court Hears Important Cell Phone Tracking Case
. . .if I'm not mistaken, I think the Justice Dept. won this Federal Appeals Court case (in Oct 2012), which currently has far-reaching warrant-less wiretapping & warrant-less email search ramifications for all Americans.

. . . of course, it can get more confusing, the more you read.

My wife likes to put duct tape over my mouth . . . whenever we're golfing, or at a movie, or whilst shopping, or when having samples at a Sam's Clubs or Costco, or, or . . . . hmmmm, now that I think about it, it seems like . . .almost all the time. .I have duct tape on my boyfriend, but that is beside the point
