Law Enforcement Feasts on Cellphone Data

A congressional inquiry conducted at the behest of Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass., found that law enforcement agencies made 1.3 million requests to cellphone carriers in 2011. They sought such information as individuals' text messages, their locations, and even lists of phone numbers they called when in the vicinity of a particular tower, whether they belonged to people under investigation or not. Wiretaps figured prominently in the mix of requests. The report highlights the growing frequency of law enforcement agencies' reliance on cellphone carriers in their investigations.
