Comment on Since the government can theoretically access the location of everyone's phone, wouldn't it be unsafe for an undocumented immigrant to have a phone?

I assume they roll the dice because it’s rather hard to get by without a phone.

Also, it’s not like the government is actively tracking everyone’s location. I’m sure if they wanted to track me they could, but it’s not like my position is being actively logged right now.

It’s definitely being logged by your Telco and phone manufacturer. Police can send them warrants to ask which phones were in X area around Y time frame and go from there.

  Of course. But they need to ask. The FBI or local police doesn’t get a daily report of our whereabouts every day.
