Cellphone GPS privacy controversy - Are you concerned?
State police there have been using a high-tech "toy" that enables them to extract information from the cell phones of motorists stopped for routine traffic violations. The device, the CelleBrite UFED, is capable of grabbing photos, video, and GPS data

wow this is like some real mission impossible type stuff, I guess it was bound to happen.

Do you think only the guilty need fear surveillance?What do you think of the statement that people shouldn't fear surveillance programs if they have nothing to hide? In other words, innocent people have nothing to fear, while the guilty should have no right to privacy?
