Edit:Sorry, messed up the link
Supreme court ruled that police don't need any warrants to obtain your location data. I'm not 100% sure what this ruling means, but it sounds like they can track you wherever you've taken your cellphone without any need for a warrant now?
Also they use the excuse, "the government does not require a member of the public to own or carry a phone... the government merely comes in after the fact and asks a provider to turn over records the provider has already created"

If I ever get lost / kidnapped, and don't know where I am, this will be a life saver.
they still need to have a court order to do so, it's bs, just don't act suspicious i guess.
god forbid you take our your sim card
