AT&T maintains an extensive record detailing every location their customers have ever used their phones, according to a New York Times article published on Sunday.
The revelations were revealed in a NYT story highlighting “Hemisphere,” a partnership between AT&T and law enforcement officials working in a counternarcotics program which gave authorities access to phone data.
According to the article, law enforcement officials have access to a trove of AT&T data that “includes information on the locations of callers” of “every call that passes through an AT&T switch — not just those made by AT&T customers.”

So What? You use your credit card everywhere you go also. You buy gas everywhere you go. To late to care now.
I'm in deep deep trouble.They might think my wife and I have a code when she asks me to get a loaf of bread and a case of Sprite zero.
So it's not consensual, and its unconstitutional
10:06....MUST be a cop. I don't mind paying for a service (credit card, phone, etc), but I DO mind someone turning over my usage and location information to the police, ESPECIALLY the federal government's police (because they have AND exert tremendous power -- you can literally disappear under their power). I AM (by LAW) innocent if not convicted of something. The police (by law) don't get to sift throught everyone's life to see IF, MAYBE, POSSIBLY there is SOME -- ANY-- crime they can find. In reality, these power-hungry Nazi's believe ALL of us are guilty until THEY say we are not...keep cheering...even if it's at gunpoint....as it is now in the (unconstitutional) "stop & frisk" (and the police, of course, IGNORED that ruling; also true at the Nazi "checkpoints" (you cheered THAT one like you hit Powerball) and the random interstate highway Nazi "checkpoints" now being done by professional Storm Troopers of Homeland Security. Nothing like going to Disneyworld with your wife and kids and getting pulled over by armed agents to check your "papers". God, we are in trouble...
Somewhere in fine print that nobody reads is most likely on your contract. I doubt the founding fathers took phones into consideration when they wrote the constitution.
11:46 to be secure in all your effects pretty much covers it...please read the constitution....there's an app for that
No, the founding fathers didn't take phones into consideration. What an asinine observation. Individual freedom, personal resposibility, limited government, and the RIGHT of "we, the people" to be free from government intrusion and inspection of otherwise normal and innocent lives. SOME things NEVER go "out of style", except to those who believe cute little observations can negate a couple of hundred years of freedom. "Fine Print" doesn't nullify the Constitution. At least, in theory.
Communications reach beyond the realm of ownership, your means of communication also crosses the lines of others. Shared jointly.
2:22... another half-assed attempt to rationalize what cannot be defended. Read the Constituition instead of Marx, Hitler, and Mao. Or move to where the "realm of ownership" belongs entirely to those in power. You'll be so happy there...."shared jointly"??? WTF?? Why don't you copy all of us in on all your texts and e-mails if you are so content with "sharing"? Must be another cop....has no problem "sharing" YOUR communications, just leave HIS alone ('cause you know, HIS communications are none of your business...). Keep cheering, Nazi wanna-be's.
