justexploring -- no he wasnt he was at a between school funtion ( home coming ) and a fellow class mate was really drunk and the grandmother came home --he was the only one who stuck around to help keep an eye on her, the rest of the kids bolted as soon as a adult showed up ! Yes he shouldnt be drinking ---but hello wake up-- under age teens do drink and most parents are blind to that fact , no matter how good we are parents , if they are going to do it; for what ever reason, they will. We must deal with the facts, and talk to them openly of the hazards and hope for the best and pray they make the right choices..... [ More ]

There was a case not too long ago about a girl and her mother being constantly harrassed by someone who was hearing everything the girl was saying and making threats to both of them and by leaving messages on her phone. The police are baffled by this and have not yet caught the person behind this. I saw the on T.V. a few months ago. They brought in the finest computer techs to solve this but none of them had any idea how someone could posssibly hear conversations when the phone was off. Th... [ More ]

You were debating the other day with someone about the obesity law, and I kept telling you that I did see it on the news, but you were determined that everyone was wrong. She wasn't sure that it was in Michigan, but I jumped in and said that it was somewhere in the country. I bet If I told you the story about the thermostat in Los Angeles, before you heard about it that you would probably argue with me for 10 hours.

Rumor, Pac. Don't believe it. If it's off, it's off. It's a paperweight. I mean, maybe someone here who is computer savvy can tell me if I turn off my notebook, disconnect it, can anyone track my computer with WiFi? Doesn't it have to be turned on? Since I am not a know-it-all, next time I go by the Lee County Sheriff I will ask a Deputy about the cell phone story. Don't in any way think I am in love with the cops. Not at all. I had a bad situation with them (as a victim, not an offender) a couple of times, but most of them are very hard-working, good family men & women. I just found them totally useless, but maybe their hands were tied by the laws. That said, when I lived on Sanibel they'd go out of their way to help.... [ More ]

Sure the article was talking about something else...yeah..so what? Does that mean I can't put my own two cents in about something related? I think it was very obvious to all who read my second post in this blog, that what I wrote had nothing to do with the article. But somehow you integrated what I said with the article. I didn't twist anything around or play semantics, you were the one who melded the two stories together. I simply made a very short statement. <br... [ More ]

Comment by pacattack05 - Yesterday, 12:32 pm This is nothing. The government now has the technolgy to eavesdrop on your cell phone even when it's turned off. As long as the phone has a global positioning in it, they can hear your conversations, even if your just talking to a friend in the living room. I couldn't believe it when I heard about this. That is the Quote above...cut and dry. Then you come along and say that all phones have it. And I said...... [ More ]

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search A GPS Phone is a mobile phone with an integrated GPS system which can be used for traveling and tracking purposes. These devices usually include built-in maps and turn-by-turn direction software. I'm done...lol Now you can argue with Wikepedia. Leave me out of this...lol

Pac, I was only responding to what you wrote which was "I'm pretty sure, unless someone can show me otherwise, that not all phones have GPS in them." So (a) I showed you otherwise since you requested that and I am a someone and (b) all phones, when in use, use signals that bounce off of towers, so the calls can be intercepted and the location determined. That's all I was saying. "Get it?"

pacattack05 — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 21:13:58 GMT

Do you seriously think that if you decided to get a job at the airport today, that they would say...OK justxploring welcome aboard, and go ahead and use your phone. We'll track your every move because you have a GPS in your phone. You have the 95% kind that is only used by police to track you down. The company could not track where your taxi is with the phone you have.

Comment #28

pacattack05 — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 21:07:29 GMT

Above is a link to the question at hand. It says that 95 percent of phones have GPS but not the kind I'm speaking of. The kind where you can use it as a true GPS device, like one of those gadgets that tell you how to get to your destination. Gormin I think it's called. The 95 percent is only for police tracking, not for the govt. to eavesdrop on you when the phone is completely off. Get it

justxploring — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 21:02:14 GMT

Hey, Mike - 26 comments! LOL Let me clear up what I just typed. Prepaid cell phones don't have a subscribed user. My bill has an account number and it's easier to find me through my service. So of course someone who buys a prepaid phone at a convenient store doesn't have to prove who he is with name, address, etc. I was only saying that while it is in use, the location of the call can be tracked. That's all. After it is used and thrown out, the cops would have a tough time finding the user. That's all for now. Watch Law & Order more often. LOL... [ More ]

justxploring — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 20:56:02 GMT

Sorry - I give up. I didn't say the Taxi service was acting like the police. I said that, because they are not the police they don't have the right to call the provider to track you legally on your personal phone which is why you needed to use their own equipment. Cell phones are private. However, they are not private if the police get a warrent to track you because they expect illegal activity. You can't use it as a GPS the same way you can't get channel 110 if you don't have the right equipment, but it doesn't mean your TV doesn't have 200 channels. You just don't have the capability in the phone you bought. You are speaking/reading another language today. As I previously wrote, every new phone, even a prepaid phone has a GPS tracking device that police can use if legally warranted. How do I collect my bet? It's a regulation. Just look at any cell phone bill. There is a surcharge for this. how do you think the 911 works?... [ More ]

I meant to say a model that hasn't yet installed a GPS yet. It's a cheap pay as you go phone, but it's new, however, even though it's new, dosen't mean it has one. We're definitely on the wrong page today. All I said from the getgo was about hearing conversations when the phone is off, not tracking, that's very easy to do without GPS. And the taxi example had nothing to do about the taxi company acting as police. WOW! You are way off...lol I only used that example to... [ More ]

They got so tired that they shut their phones off and somewhow this person was able to know details of the mother and daughter conversations. If I remember correctly, one incident where the girl was wearing some kind of shirt and got a message saying that the color of the shirt was ugly or something to that effect. She was no where close to any windows at the time, so it couldn't be someone with binoculars. According to the police, they have no clue as to how this person has thi... [ More ]

Sorry everyone & Mike. Just want to say to Pac, I am not arguing with you but today we are not on the same page. You read one thing I write and I see it another way. Again, I am no cell phone expert. But what you wrote about the taxi service is different. I never said that anyone can find you if you use a cell phone, just that if a legal police search warrants it, they can ask the wireless service to find you and they would have to cooperate. I will bet real money that if you currently use a cell phone in South Florida with service like Verizon or AT&T, you have a phone that is trackable. The taxi service isn't a police agency....

justxploring — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 20:29:19 GMT

Pac, how old is your phone? I had a 4 year old phone and could no longer use it because it used TDMA technology instead of GSM. Most people don't use the old cell phones anymore. Yes, if a cell phone is off, of course you cannot be tracked. Did you copy & paste the link I posted in my last comment? That explains what I said in detail. Anyway, I didn't think you were using an old cell phone since you said you travel around the country a lot and drove an airport van before and drive a truck, etc. I'm no tech expert but I thought most carriers switched to GSM from TDMA which would make the old phones obsolete, but I could be wrong....

pacattack05 — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 20:22:06 GMT

Also I'm pretty sure, unless someone can show me otherwise, that not all phones have GPS in them. The newer models have one, but not the old models. I know this because last year when the new Gestapo took over the airport dealings of the taxi business, they made all the permitted taxi drivers use the company phones which had the GPS in them. Why would they do that if everyone has GPS in their phones

Jim695, that is exactly the plan. 1) Come up with as many ways as possible to take away Americans' means of defending their lives & property. 2) Let the criminals run wild as a means of future job security for the criminal justice(sic) industry, because Americans will (you guessed it) not have any way to protect their lives and family. 3) Create more "criminals" by jailing those citizens who "break de law" by having a gun, anyway.

Pac, where the heck did I call you a drug dealer or say you were hiding from the police? All I did was joking say "they haven't caught you yet" and then used a smiley. Then I went on to say the police don't bother people UNLESS.... Just the opposite of what you are complaining about. Maybe I hit upon a nerve?

I lost my handgun AND my right to carry it because I had the audacity to stop a felony in progress. While I was being handcuffed, the police told me that I was NOT being arrested, and that the handcuffs were for their protection. What was my crime? I stopped the man who had rear-ended me TWICE and seriously injured my 70-yr-old mother as he tried to flee from the police. The kid had no driver's license, no insurance, the license plates on his truck didn't belong to him and were register... [ More ]

I'm not hiding out from the police or the government, and I don't sell drugs!!! I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't label me like that. There is no way I could have obtained my CDL Class "A" driver's license without going through a backround check. Thanx and have a great day

Sorry for my 4th consecutive post here (almost embarrasing) but I just realized applejack never said his son was driving. I humbly apologize if this is correct. Still, he shouldn't be out drinking at 17, although I did I lot worse things that that at his age. Please accept my apology if by "stopped" you were not talking about driving a vehicle.

No, I don't like my privacy being invaded. I even voiced disapproval when my driver's licensed was swiped at the polls. I don't like using my social security number to apply for jobs, but it's the only way they can report my income to the IRS or run a background check.

In the old days we taught our children to find a policeman if someone tried to harm them. Now the children are afraid of the police (as they should be). The "We Serve and Protect" slogan they boast on their cars should be changed to "We Harass and Arrest". As the lights flash and spotlight blinds you, the jack-booted officer comes to your car window and informs you that your tail light is out. He didn't stop you for the tail light...he stopped you to see your "papers" and s... [ More ]

Of course the founders foresaw it. They called it the Fourth Amendment. The Fifth Jerk-it Court of Schlameels knows this. Tyranny always starts with the outcasts. We let them do whatever they want to the 'criminals' because, afterall, we'll never do anything "ill-eagle". Soon enough, anything becomes "probable cause".
