Need one reason to support the Geolocation Privacy and Surveillance Act
The ACLU has nearly two hundred and counting. 

That's the rough number of law enforcement agencies across the country that acknowledge they are tracking cell phones.  We know this from coordinated public record requests of 383 law enforcement agencies on cell phone location tracking.  Of the 200 agencies that responded, only 10 do not track cell phones. 

Simply put, it's the wild west when it comes to rules on cell phone tracking by law enforcement.  From Allie Bohm at the ACLU Blog of Rights:

The craziest part — if you're in Honolulu or Hawaii County, your law enforcement agents are obtaining a probable cause warrant; if you're in Kauai, you're out of luck, and law enforcement agencies might be obtaining your information via administrative subpoena. If you're in Lexington, Ky., your local police are getting a warrant, but if the Kentucky State Police are interested in you, it's a different story.


This is a problem that Congress needs to fix.  And it can be done so in the form of the Geolocation Privacy and Surveillance Act.  The bill requires law enforcement to get a warrant based on probable cause before accessing location information.

Please tell your members of Congress to sign on.
