ACLU Seeks Details on Government Mobile Phone Tracking in Massive Nationwide Information Request

NEW YORK–(ENEWSPF)–August 3, 2011.  In a massive coordinated information-seeking campaign, 34 American Civil Liberties Union affiliates across the nation today are sending 379 requests to local law enforcement agencies large and small demanding to know when, why and how they are using cell phone location data to track Americans. The requests, being filed under the states’ freedom of information laws, are an effort to strip away the secrecy that has surrounded law enforcement use of cell phone tracking capabilities.
