Cell phone tracking: From tinfoil hats to reality?

[The Wizard]

Better stop going outside then as your position can get tracked by all those CCTV cameras too, if the authorities so choose (and I doubt they even need to ask a judge to do that!).

In any case, it isn't a situation where all your movements all the time are constantly transmitted to the police, they'd only ask to track you if they had a reason to so, unless you actually are doing something illegal, then you have nothing to worry about in my opinion.

The classic pro-surveillance argument. "You have nothing to worry about, citizen! Or are you perhaps a *gasp* Communist?"

Until someone gets a special one-way ticket to a Moroccan dungeon because the authorities wrongly linked together a bunch of completely unrelated things that, however, look suspicious together. And don't even get me started on the privacy aspect.
