Re: Grrr.... I'm an idiot!
 

Hi Matt,
That's something that really needs to improve here in Southern
California, where all cellar 911 calls are directed the the California
Highway Patrol. That seems like a good idea, but they're still not setup
for it, many horror stories, over the San Diego Police Department's
handling, like all land lines are regularly taken.

The 911 issue is simply a lack of tying the computer systems of the
cell companies together with the systems of law enforcement. The
cell phone company can locate your position trivially since they
need to do this to keep your service alive as you move from cell
to cell. If you are within range of three cell towers, your position
is trivially known. Even without that, suppose you are wanted for
murder and are being driven around in a White Bronco...and realize
that is how the LAPD knows exactly where you are.

If I'm ever in that predicament, I'll make sure I hire the same lawyers, and
once I'm acquitted I'll look for the real murderers...and I'll start by
searching every golf course in the country...
