Imagine living in a world where the government knows every detail about your life. When you leave for work, what your favorite place to eat at, different shops you go to, and much more. By tracking GPS data from your cell phone, the government could track every move you make whenever you have your cell phone on you. The government says it has only been using this feature to track suspects and criminals, however who is to say that they haven't been using this on innocent civilians to gather data us or someone else hacking the system and using it.
Using this technology on criminals however has been a great help for the government. By tracking their location, police and federal officers can find out where drug deals are taking place and can bring down the dealers when it's happening. This has significantly helped officials and is making cities safer. The problem is that there is no privacy rights for suspects that the police are chasing. Some of these suspects may not be a convicted felon and police might not have any leads but are hoping to get some from the tracking data. However, if the suspects are innocent, the police and federal officials would be completely violating their privacy rights.
Furthermore, hackers could get into the systems and start using it to find where people are located. This is very dangerous because terrorists could use the information to plot an attack politicians and cause havoc to our country. Although this technology is already being used, I believe it must be stopped immediately because of the significant consequences of using it. It may have helped us on several occasions, but the good does not outweigh evil in this situation.
