Phone trackers work by mimicking a cellular phone tower which tricks the cell phone into connecting to the tracker which allows the tracker to send a signal to the phone and trace its location. The cell phone simply needs to be turned on to allow this to happen. The tracking devices vary in size and shape but most are small enough to be carried by hand or mounted in a car. The devices can only locate cell phones; they cannot hear any conversation made with it nor see any data contained on it.
Phone trackers help law enforcement and government agencies in a variety of ways including helping them find and capture dangerous criminals and aiding in search-and-rescue operations. This sort of new technology isn’t covered by our constitution but should they be included? Should finding someone in this manner be considered a violation of their rights?

I have been waiting for this for quite a long time due to the fact that I have been receiving calls nonstop from people I don't know. And I wanted it to stop so I bought another phone. I could have used this kind of technology a few years ago. Could have saved me a little bit of money before but oh well.
