US seeks cell phone tracking of "suspects" without warrant
The Federal Appeals Court in Philadelphia has begun working on a government appeal meant to authorize the law enforcement to obtain cell-phone tracking information of "suspected individuals" from telecommunication companies without having to give a possible reason for their probe. The case, originally filed in a Pennsylvania court in 2008, has stirred media frenzy in the US and reached the Congress over its conflicts with privacy laws, with some Senate democratic members pledging to launch investigations into the matter.
