General Reports

I seen this on the news tonight and I thought the face looked familiar. I never met her myself but I remember seeing that face in ads on BP. Looks like Julia in Concord. That is the risk when these gals work out of homes in neighborhoods. All it takes is one neighbor to make a call to get LE looking into it. Careful folks. Always be on your toes. It would seem that these girls wouldn't want to draw attention to themselves by working out of the same location all the time.

Gave me the general area on the initial calls and would not answer later. Both times, she called me back hours later (or the next morning) after I was back in Columbia asking me was I still coming; Duh! Each of my requested visits were after my late night flights back to Charlotte. I read the reviews about her incall over a garage and was only willing to consider a visit with her under the cover of darkness. But after the second NCNS, I moved on.

Damn glad I wasn't obsessed with meeting her.

From what I have heard you aren't the only one she stood up. Some things are for the best.

[QUOTE=WetLapper;2102885]Can this feature be turned off?[/QUOTE]Yes, here's how to find the settings on an iPhone that's running IOS7.x:

Settings, Privacy, Location Services (you can leave it on, but select location services for more.

On location services screen, scroll to very bottom, select system services.

Go to bottom of System services and see Frequent Locations. You can turn this off, but take a look first.

Select Frequent Locations and view History.

You will see a list with map, date, time of places you frequent.

So you can turn this off. But WHY does the phone even track this to begin with?

According to Apple, this "Allows your iPhone to learn places you frequently visit in order to prove useful location-related information.".

But do we know for sure it is really ever turned off? I suppose the GPS that is built in is useful for locating you in an emergency like if you were in an accident. If you couldn't tell 911 where you are at, they could locate you from your phone. Like I said I wouldn't be surprised if the onboard computer in your car doesn't have the same ability, especially if you have something like OnStar?

[QUOTE=WetLapper;2104629]Does this feature have to be turned on for the find my phone app to work? In case it's lost.[/QUOTE]No. Frequent Locations does not have to be on for Find My iPhone to work. Location Services has to be on but not Frequent Locations.

It is my understanding that find my phone always works, so I wonder if you are really ever turning off the GPS as far as LE is concerned? Unless you turn the whole phone off?

I believe location settings on your phone are for location based apps, maps, etc that are ON your phone. It's used by your phone and your apps to know where you are.

While the govt and LEO may be able to locate you and your phone, I don't think it's through the GPS inside your phone.

You can choose which apps can use the GPS and which ones don't. For example, I have the "find my iphone" app enabled for location services. But for facebook I have location services turned off.

When you call 911 they locate you by triangulation. Your position relative the 3 or more cell towers. If you call 911 from a landline the phone company provides the street address where the landline is registered.

I don't believe your phone's GPS reports your location when you call them.

I could be wrong, and yes we're going off on a tangent here...

GB40.

Perhaps a little off topic but it is in the general section and none of us care to be part of an LE operation. It is all part of staying out of trouble?

[/QUOTE]Mostly correct; it is a mix of triangulation and GPS depending on the phone and service provider called WPH2, and could easily be accurate within 5-10 meters, as of 6 years ago. Not something LE will have access to unless you actually call 9-1-1, but they can get location info based off of towers that voice or data hits first from your phone company, with a warrant.

Technology gets better all the time. There is no telling what they can do with a warrant.
