whereabouts

Secondly, the whereabouts program requires cyclists to notify the authorities of their location every day to facilitate out-of-competition testing.

But the state (apparently) has an interest in tracking the whereabouts of criminals and those who appear to have criminal intent.

Not because I wasn't interested in their whereabouts, but because clicking resulted in a boring, useless page.

For instance, in Android, Google tracks with GPS accuracy your whereabouts constantly.

I'm sure my measures have limited effectiveness and I'm leaking details about my whereabouts, reading habits, and other preferences anyway.

Compare that to the number of PDs in the US that have multiple aircraft that, in fact, are flying Stingrays around collecting our whereabouts.

Hence the idea of the government having no business to know my whereabouts unless there's a good reason to suspect me of some wrongdoing.

But the government recording my whereabouts can draw me into any sort of investigation they like, based on correlated but not necessarily cause-related data.

If the issue is someone knowing your whereabouts during the day, hopefully you consider it pretty unsettling that everyone who knows your address can be reasonably certain where you are between 6 PM and 7 AM.

A lot of retailers are doing it, and apparently some governments and others are doing it too, all to keep track of people's whereabouts and habits.

If arbitrary companies and government agencies can know my whereabouts at all times, should this have any impact to how I live my life?

It'd help if you stated whereabouts you live.

Just the thought of a service knowing my child's whereabouts at all times or their historical data being in "the cloud" will probably give some people pause.
