There was an article today about a boy who was tracked down for a heart transplant using the GPS in his mother’s cell phone. Since it was a “matter of life or death,” the location information was released without a warrant.

Even though the outcome was positive, I’m not sure that I like the precedent. True, GPS technology is in phones to aid in location determination during emergencies. And, yeah, the paranoid could remove the batteries or simply not carry phones. I just don’t like the notion that I could be tracked without my permission.
