How wonderful to have your comment. As expected, you would choose the opposing point of view because of too much governmental intervention in our lives. If I am lost, I count on law enforcement using my cell phone to find me. And, if it's going to require thousands more in tax dollars to get a helicopter, K9 units and extra police, I for sure want them to use the cell phone ... it only needs to be turned on for a few minutes, it doesn't have to be turned on permanently. I guess we could just let people stay lost ... no cell phones and no additional spending! Regardless, glad to see your comment! Joan! How wonderful to have your comment.

The man should have paid his bills (if he wanted to be found). As it is, it would have been a violation of his privacy to reverse-engineer his location from his cell phone GPS. Think of it...should the government have the right to figure anyone's location, at any time, based on their cell phone? Absolutely not. I object to their using the cell phone GPS without authorization, also. Another instance of big brother stepping in. It's ludicrous to suggest Verizon should be subject to legal repercussions because of this. What a load of crap this is, and uncritical thinking, as well.
