if you study the patriot act.... government entities can do basically anything they want, and that is a fact. I took a class back in high school school and we actually read the patriot act. I am also a bank manager and I am very, very, very, familiar with monetary regulations. the patriot act is tied into everything, and I mean everything.
I'm not saying leave your phone at home, but smartphones can be tracked by GPS even by the phone company simply to locate a lost phone. I would not suggest loading pictures from an iphone/smartphone. Also, your ignorant if you dont think that keywords in a conversation over the phone dont initiate tapping.
Prepaid cells don't work either, as in letting you hide from them.
Ever see THE WIRE !? lmao
They don't/can't activate your GPS.
YOU have to turn it on or off from the phone DIRECTLY, UNLESS an app/program was PREVIOUSLY installed to do so remotely.
If you don't have GPS on your phone (not all phones are smart phones), all they can do is ping (triangulate) your cell phones signal when your USING IT.
They found non-Japanese citizens in Japan because they left their GPS on.
A lot of phone apps require you to turn it on or leave it on.
Once the battery is removed, there's not enough left over "juice" to do anything, let alone pull a GPS signal from space !!!! ROFLMFAO
Over-the-top paranoia is another way to just snitch on yourself !!
