Before I left the Police there was active talk of GPS type tracking systems being put in Officers radios to locate them. Their every movements would be tracked and logged so the bosses knew where you where at all times. Perhaps Madcop or John Robson could tell me how far this systme has come, but three years ago it was readily available.
Anyway, are we sure there are no such devices in our mobiles now

You are not wrong phil.
Hows this for a worrying development.

The new multi million £ TETRA radio system that is being groomed to replace the police radio network starting this year and being universal within the next three years across the country.

This system has GPS built into it so you can be tracked continually even when the radio is switched off!!

The control rooms will also be able to open up the channel of individual officers so that they can be heard without the officer pressing any transmit buttons.

The idea behind that is apparently safety whereby if you are uncontactable from the control centre, they will be able to locete and listen to see if you are in danger. Very comendable but I doubt for a minute that that is what it will be used for.

It will be used to evesdrop on random conversations to find out political views etc.

Personally I have no problem being listened to, as I try and remain fair and balanced in all that I do, but imagine a private conversation with your partner on a mobile or something like that.
Very worrying.

No need for outlaw to carry his tape recorder any more as it can be heard at the press of a button from somewhere else.

most of your cars, can all ready be tracked m8 by sat and are.

still need the tape m8. Try getting the recording out of them later

If they can do that to our equipment, it wont be too long before employers will seek to use the same technology everywhere in the public and private sectors through use of your mobile phone. Ever considered that it would be possible for them to open up your channel and listen to what you say without you knowing? Most employers would love to know what you do for every second that they employ you!!
