    So I've called 911 twice in the past year in NYC to report emergencies. I know it activates my phone's GPS and sends my phone #, but now I find out that they keep all of this and use it for all sorts of crap in the future? Guess I won't call 911 to report any more emergencies.

    Rule number one, for would-be criminals: Don't carry traceable cell phones. If you're on a contract, kill it. If you have a pre-paid and it gets confiscated for any reason, kick it to the curb. And never, ever use GPS for any reason. Cuz believe me those pigs wi-...

    Err.....I mean...

    WELL, YAH! Serves 'em right! You commit a crime, you lose your rights! If one of these guys came to my house in Texas, where we love America and eat hamburgers and fried chicken, I'd shoot them with my gun that has "2nd Amend." engraved on it. Then I'd sleep with my heterosexual spouse while listening to Glenn Beck!

    @GitEmSteveDave_IsWaving: Wow I watched video of the Daily Show from that link and that is disturbing.

    I stopped watching Colbert Report for a while (my primary source of news) think it's time to start again.

    @ XanderCrews: Thanks both of you for the links, made me open my eyes a bit more, been a while since I was scared about where are country was going and well not much has changed.

    Welcome to the world of tomorrow Rosa. Wait for the cameras to be installed in your own home, then write an article about it...if you still can.

    @psychonaut2021: WHOA. Are you saying I would have cameras in my house and someone could view them? I'm not sure I could stand for such a thing. I wonder what that would look like.

    @Rosa Golijan: I doubt you would have to worry about people wanting to look at you in your PJ's. Unless they were forced to.

    @Rosa Golijan: Never have I had a star. :(
    At least, as far as I know. If I lost it, I sure hope to hell it was for something good.
