BoingBoing: ACLU on geo-location as a pre-crime indicator

Posted on December 11, 2013 by brasscount Posted in geo-loc, Geo-location .

Interesting idea. Why not use geo-location data patterns to predict that a citizen might commit a crime?

Because its wrong perhaps? While crime analysis does aspire to make statistical predictions about future crime, and while we increasingly eschew any semblance of privacy, geo-location data really should be restricted to access by probable cause and warrant.

Wired contradicts itself on legality of warrantless Mobile geo-location.

Wired: NSA Wrongly Says Warrantless Mobile-Phone Location Tracking Is Legal

So, the sixth circuit says that a warrant is not needed to get a subscriber’s geo-loc info. The Supreme Court let the ruling stand. Why is the NSA lawyer incorrect?

The fifth circuit says that something less than probable cause is insufficient to compel a phone company to disclose the records. What if you simply request them? No law requires the cell companies to not disclose the information, based upon a reasonable request or subpoena. How was the NSA lawyer wrong?

The third circuit says that a court may choose to require a warrant. (At least they’re not ambiguous about it.)

The fourth circuit is likely to rule in favor of government, as the article mentions the argument that the Stored Communication Act makes it legal.

So if you want to make claims that its illegal for government to acquire geo-location data, first write letters to congress and the Senate requesting that they take up the geo-location privacy act, or one of the myriad other similar bills, and actually pass something. Is it against the Fourth Amendment? I have a sneaking suspicion that the entire SCA is unconstitutional, but I’m no attorney, just someone who wishfully thinks that my “papers” should include those documents that I have entrusted to a 3rd party, like the US Postal Service, Federal Express, Yahoo and Gmail. Also the electronic records that others gather about me. But that is an example of wishful thinking, not the legal opinion of an attorney.

Car Wars GPS trackers

Posted on October 29, 2013 by brasscount Posted in geo-loc, Geo-location .

Move over Steve Jackson games. We no longer have to play Car Wars to get Mad Max-like automotive weaponry. Police in Iowa and Florida have deployed grill mounted cannons to fire Sticky GPS tracking rounds during vehicle chases.

This would have been AWESOME to have on a squad car!

New york times article: Does Govt store Geo-loc data?

Posted on September 27, 2013 by brasscount Posted in geo-loc .

Mr. Wyden pressed General Alexander about whether the N.S.A. had ever collected, or made plans to collect, bulk records about Americans’ locations based on cellphone tower data.

General Alexander replied that the N.S.A. is not doing so as part of the call log program, but that information pertinent to Mr. Wyden’s question was classified.
