Cell phone tracking.

Are you being tracked? 

Cells phone. Cells phone help you communicate with others, they help you call your parents when you need help. They help you call your friends when you wanna talk with them. They help you call the police when you need major help with stealing or any other crime. Or it can help others communicate with you. The phone may help you communicate with others, or vise versa, but it also does something else, something you might not even be aware of. Your phone helps the police and anyone else find you. 

Many times people (mostly kids) are kidnapped and go missing. For example in 2011, November 16th, a student was on her way to class when was kidnapped. The abductor had tied the girl and shoved her in his car, where there was fiber-glass windows so she couldn't scream for help. She would have never been found if her cell phone's gps hadn't helped the police track her. She managed to get back to life and be safe about 30 minutes after she was kidnapped. 

Though cells phones can help people or police help find a person if they're kidnapped some people think that this whole thing is violating people's privacy rights. Personally, I agree with this, every person does have rights, they have a right to be able to do things without people watching them; but then again, what if you're kidnapped? Would you wanna be killed or anything else just because you didn't want the police watching you so you got a prepaid phone, the only phone that can't be tracked? I have a phone (with a gps) and having people know my every move, every thing I do, well it kinda freaks me out. But what if I'm kidnapped? What if I go missing and people don't know what's going on? Or I don't know where I am, I would want to be found, I want to live! I don't want to do who knows what! 

Sooo, I guess the whole conversation with the whole "privacy-right violation with the phone tracking" is kinda worth it, people do have a right to privacy but what if you need to be found and you don't know how you're gonna get helped? So who knows what's gonna happen to the whole phone tracking? Who knows if it's gonna stop? I don't know. I would like to read more about it and find out more info, but hey, that's my opinion. That's what I want to do-I'm just one voice in millions, I have no ideas what others think or what you the reader could possibly think, maybe you think that it should stop, maybe you think it should keep happening-who knows; I certainly don't know. What is it that you the reader think about this? Is it good for you? Or bad for you? Is your cell phone helping violating rights? Would you wanna keep your cell phone-even after reading this? (I sound/feel like an ad person here...) What would you do, say, or think about this? And if you think this is bad, why

  1. Great blog post! I love how extended on the idea of the whole privacy thing. However, I think people do keep things in private, because they look at how it can affect them at that moment, not later. People don't really focus how things can affect them later, they don't really think about it, but now it's more awareness because things like this are happening. Why you think things like this happen is there a possible motive?

    1. Nadia,
      Thanks xD I agree people don't really think about things, but the police in this case seem to. Well, only if the person needs to be tracked. Also, it's not like the police keep tabs 24/7 though. They only do if the person is probably reported missing, and if the phone has a GPS or something, since pre-paid phones can't seemed to be tracked. And personally, I don't think there could be a motive behind all this, the police are only using it and doing this is to find people, I don't think there's any other motive for this. But hey, this is the world, ya never know what can happen, things do change from left to right.
