Big Brother can find us any place, any time

Most of us have heard that its possible for the police to track a cellphone's location even when its turned off, due to the transmitting device within the phone. What I was staggered to learn today is that there is a website where you can input anyones cellphone number and Google Earth software will be activiated to pinpoint that phones current location. Scary!

The website is: http://mobilebacktrack.com/

Go on, put someones phone number in and test it, the results surprised even me! Dont forget to put the country code in first ie 64 if in NZ.

You can run but you can't hide it would seem......also very handly for idiots like me who are always losing things like phones!
