Re: Protect Yourself

Protect yourself by not engaging in criminal acts is even a better advice.

It is amazing so many people are criticizing US law enforcement practices used for solving major crimes like murder. In case somebody is making the mistake of committing such a crime carrying an active phone, it could provide a critical piece of information to solve it. The law can be as effective as we want it to be, maybe in civilized countries it should be the objective of law enforcement to get access to all the means it can get to solve capital crimes, and not give murderers and rapists the opportunity to make more victims because a few worry about their privacy.
