NYPD Illegally Tracking Cell Phones
Warning, if you have been arrested in NYC while carrying a cell phone the police might be illegally tracking you via your phone’s serial number.  According to the Daily News, a recent internal memo says that when cops make an arrest, they should remove the suspect’s cell phone battery to avoid leakage – then jot down the International Mobile Equipment Identity number.
Civil libertarians are alarmed by the new policy since normally a warrant is needed to obtain information such as calls made or numbers in an address book. Â
So, here’s some advice kids,Â
1. Â Never enter your friend’s Writing names into your phone. Â Only their given names, or make something up.
2. Don’t send texts about painting. Â Text messages last forever and can be read by third parties.
3. Don’t carry your cell when you are out painting.
4. If you are super paranoid, get a new phone if you get arrested.
