OUTLAW COPS (and anyboby else who wants to) TRACKING CELL PHONE CALLS
If you own a cell phone, you might as well kiss your privacy goodbye. Cell phone companies know more about us than most of us would ever dare to imagine. Your cell phone company is tracking everywhere that you go and it is making a record of everything that you do with your phone. Much worse, there is a good chance that your cell phone company has been selling this information to anyone that is willing to pay the price – including local law enforcement. In addition, it is an open secret that the federal government monitors and records all cell phone calls. The “private conversation” that you are having with a friend today will be kept in federal government data banks for many years to come. The truth is that by using a cell phone, you willingly make yourself a prisoner of a digital world where every move that you make and every conversation that you have is permanently recorded. But it is not just cell phone companies and government agencies that you have to worry about. It is incredibly easy for any would-be stalker to hack you and track your every movement using your cell phone. In fact, many spyware programs allow hackers to listen to you through your cell phone even when your cell phone is turned off. (The battery must be removed from phone to prevent this intrusion.) Sadly, most cell phone users have absolutely no idea about any of this. Law enforcement tracking of cellphones, once the province mainly of federal agents, has become a powerful and widely used surveillance tool for local police officials, with hundreds of departments, large and small, using it aggressively with no court oversight and no warrents, documents show. The practice has become big business for cellphone companies, too, with carriers marketing a catalog of “surveillance fees” to police departments to determine a suspect’s location, trace phone calls and texts. The practice is widespread citing examples from all across the nation and police departments are keeping it hush hush. Police Department hacker training manuals are warning officers: "Do not mention to the public or the media the use of cellphone technology or equipment used to locate and monitor the targeted subject."

COPS USE USE YOUR TAXPAYER DOLLARS TO SPY ON YOU
Wiretaps cost hundreds of dollars per target every month, generally paid at daily or monthly rates. To wiretap a customer's phone, T-Mobile charges law enforcement a flat fee of $500 per target. Sprint's wireless carrier Sprint Nextel requires police pay $400 per "market area" and per "technology" as well as a $10 per day fee, capped at $2,000. AT&T charges a $325 activation fee, plus $5 per day for data and $10 for audio. Verizon charges a $50 administrative fee plus $700 per month, per target.
