First sentence is most important:

Nevada quietly signed an agreement earlier this year with a company that collects location data from cellphones, allowing police to track a device virtually in real time — all without a warrant.

    If the police are funded by the government, then that information should legally be publicly available to anyone... this is what is getting towns to stop using Flock as well, when people start asking for that info too.

    Not to mention it's probably a Fourth Amendment violation too.
