Tracking People Via Cell Phone

An anonymous reader writes "According to the articleat the Guardian the UK Government have been working on a project to use the widely available mobile phone masts as a form of localised radar to track both people and vehicles without their knowledge. Supposedly there is even work on the way to give this project the ability to see through walls! Maybe Philip K. Dick was right to be paranoid about governments."

This can, and has been used by the police to, for example, prove that a certain person has been at a certain location at a certain time.

Incorrect. This cannot prove that a certain person has been at a certain location at a certain time. It can only prove that a certain cellphone has been at a certain location at a certain time.
