Interesting article. A basically good, factual article about one "tool" that law enforcement has at its disposal and evidence of its use. I'm disappointed about two "issues" that underlay the reporting.
The vauge conspiricy theory of "big brother is watching" is an unnecessary "slant" thrown in for certain readership diminishes the credibility of the reporter for me.
The fact that one "tool" of law enforcement is exposed (even though it hasn't really been hidden) DOES give the criminal element a heads up. I prefer that dumb criminals stay dumb and smart criminals be ignorant.
