thorne Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Incorrect. All the NSA, CIA, DEA, ATF or Homeland Security are required to do is give the carrier a "National Security Letter" saying that the carrier is required to assist in tracking or tapping that phone. Currently, all of the major carriers are complying with these letters while waiting for a court to rule on the legality of the issue. I think Verizon has challenged these letters in the past, and has a court case ongoing, but has essentially rolled over now. Now a local or state organization is going to have a harder time getting into your phone...but judges maintain a stack of pre-signed warrants all ready for an agency to call and ask for. Your incorrect. They can get a warrant and make special calls to legal but they do not just gave out info freely. I speak on authority since I used to handle warranty and legal documents for timewarner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustalbert Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 So the 9th Circus strikes down the AZ law to ask a person if they are here legaly, but upholds the ability of law enforcement to track you without a warrant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
