Court OKs Cell Phone Tracking Without Warrant
Its been done this way for years...
The officer simply provided the subscriber's number, and eventually were given current locations over the phone. This was a TDMA IS-54 or IS-136 network (whatever ATTW was running at the time), so the resolution was a little crude.
Even with newer TDMA systems like GSM, it would not be uncommon for a subscriber to be using a tower quite far removed from their geographic location -- especially in diverse terrain and dense urban areas.
However, if you are planning on commiting a crime, I have bad news if you have a CDM...

I am (for the most part) a law abiding citizen and do not care if I am being tracked through the tower I am using without a search warrant. It might even benefit many people who would otherwise be harmed by those being tracked. But this is going to lead to more freedoms being taken away and eventually we will be living in a heavy regulated, policed-state. In the long run this will be very harmful for everyone.
Try reading George Orwell's "1984" or Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World". These are chilling tales of what may come (if China doesn't take us over first).
