Use Cell Phone Gps Tracking To Monitor The Children

May 12, 2010 - PRLog -- The Global Positioning System is a satellite-based navigation system that is commonly referred to as GPS. The devices that enable access to the technology are integrated within a subscription service that is made up of a network of satellites. The positions in orbit provide access to special satellite signals that are coded. These signals are processed in the ground GPS receiver. The resultant signals point out compute position, time and exact velocity.

There are some parents who use cell phone gps trackings to know the location of their teens. They may download GPS tracking software (http://www.eastmobiles.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=118:free-iphone-tracking-software&catid=29:iphone-os&Itemid=55) technology to the mobile phones of their teens, or they may place a cell phone gps tracking somewhere in their car. The teenagers may or may not be aware that their parents are monitoring them.

There is likely quite a few teens who believe that this is and invasion of their privacy.

Does the thought run through your mind if your spouse having an affair? Curious to find out what your brother-in-law is up to? If you place a hidden cell phone gps tracking on their vehicle, you will at least know where they are going in their car. You may have to come to your own conclusions as to what they are actually doing there.

There are many people who would agree that this would be an invasion of privacy and quite a few would be offended if they either knew or suspected you were tracking them. Things get a little more involved when police use cell phone gps trackings.

Cell phone gps trackings on Google earth (http://cellphonetrackers.org/tracking-mobile-phone-locati...) have been used by police to successfully solve crimes. An example of the conflict between serving justice and invasion of privacy; say the police put a cell phone gps tracking on the car of a person they suspect of being a murderer. They successfully track the the murderer as he unknowingly leads them to the victims grave. Is this an invasion of privacy? Should law enforcement officials be allowed to use cell phone gps trackings this way?

If, for instance, the police need to obtain a search warrant from a judge to use a cell phone gps tracking, should a private citizen be able to use this technology without a warrant? Should the average private citizen even be allowed to use cell phone gps tracking technology at all? At times the right to privacy and the right to information are in conflict, this is one of those time.

All technology has moral and ethical implications that we as individuals and society as a whole has to grapple with. The right to privacy is the ethical dilemma we are forced to deal with when we use cell phone gps tracking technology.
