people sometimes forget or don't realize that we are carrying government locator devices on us almost all of the time.

It was a rental car. Let's not get too tin-foil-hat here.

And that has what to do with a cell phone exactly?

Is it news to anyone that a cell phone signal can be tracked? They have had the tech(Stingray) for a long time, the only question is if they abuse it.

My bad, I thought the implication was that they tracked the car.

But yeah, no surprise that anyone/everyone can track cells. Can't have privacy and service/convenience.

What an ass.

Vester Lee Flanagan II complained about his lack of sex | Daily Mail Online

The cold-blooded killer who gunned down two of his former colleagues on live TV last week was afraid of getting older and worried that his days as a $2,000-a-night male prostitute were over.

Vester Lee Flanagan II revealed his insecurities in a suicide letter and last phone call to close friend Robert Avent, of Vallejo, California.

Avent spoke with Flanagan just moments before the 41 year old committed suicide on Wednesday, while he was being chased by police.

Four days after the double murder-suicide, Avent received a package from Flanagan containing old photographs and letters which give insight into his mind in the lead-up to the on-air executions.

This guy on my Facebook feed keeps posting these links that suggest this is all a big hoax. I mean, come on, can you show any less respect?

The interesting thing is that you don't even have to have your cell on to be tracked. As long as you have the battery in the phone, it can be used to locate you. That's how they were able to track and locate that cop killer in the PA woods last year.

Chalk that up as interesting things you learn as you spend a lot of time in a car traveling with a State Policeman.

I've seen this multiple times on 'The First 48'. It's amazing how many times they debunk an alibi by checking the 'ping' records of cell phones that the accused had with them at the time of the crime. If I'm a criminal, I'm making sure my cell phone is left at home when I commit the crime.
