Gidari cited in New York Times article on cell phone tracking

In an article on the use of cell phones as an investigative tool for law enforcement, Perkins Coie Partner Albert Gidari told The New York Times that wireless carriers "receive hundreds of requests a month from law enforcement" for real-time tracking. The article focuses on the privacy issues that arise as a result of such tracking. In a case before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, judges are deciding whether search warrants should be required for law enforcement to obtain cell phone tracking data.
