Tracking a Move Via "Find My iPhone"

dmolnar writes "I recently helped my girlfriend move her stuff from Chicago, IL to Oakland, CA. The movers were scheduled to arrive at 8AM on the 5th of July, and we were stressing the day before about all the things that could go wrong with a move. We realized that if we knew where her stuff was, it'd make us feel better. This is a story about using the $99 iPhone to track the move ... and about a somewhat surprising potential use of Find My iPhone to track your friends' iPhones without them noticing."

I thought you needed a warrant or at least a private investigator's license to track people by GPS without their knowledge.
Ahh... yes.
And Cheney had a valid warrant for every single act of spying he did.
