Until very recently if you suspected your spouse or lover was cheating
one way to spy on them would be to go online or hire a private
investigator and purchase copies of their cell phone bills. That way
you could get a complete listing of all the incoming and out going
calls from their cell phone. It was a great tool for investigators and
a very useful resource for victims of infidelity to make an informed
decision about their relationships.
No one likes to be in the dark about infidelity.
Like all things that can be used for good it was open to abuse. For
instance the blogsters at AMERICAblog was able to obtain General
Wesley Clark's cell phone records for $89.95.
Now unless you are Mrs Wesley Clark this is an obvious abuse of an
investigative tool. Terrorists could have purchased those cell phone
records and used the information illegally and put the General , his
family and even the nation at risk.
Sen. Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat proposed legislation H.R.
4709: Law Enforcement and Phone Privacy Protection Act of 2006, and S.
2178: Consumer Telephone Records Protection Act of 2006, both passed
committee. so it is no longer possible to legally purchase such
information. It is illegal to obtain these records unless you are the
actual owner of the phone and you can prove it.
Well this should protect us from identity thieves and terrorists but
what about the run of the mill soccer mom that suspects her man is out
doing her wrong? What can she do?
Well there are still some ways to obtain info from cell phones that
are perfectly legal.
One is a Digital Forensics.
If you are the legal owner of the phone you can hire investigators
like EmailRevealer.com and have the phone examined forensically. Most
people don't realize it but deleted text messages, deleted Caller ID
records and deleted address book entries can all be retrieved from a
cell phones or Blackberry and many other hand held electronic
devices.
Or you can give your spouse a gift of a phone with GPS installed and
track their every move. AccuTracking - Starter Kit
It's also possible and perfectly legal to do an online search of
thousands of personal ads to see if your lover's email address is
being used for online cheating. Dating Service (infidelity)

So like all things Internet the technology moves faster than
lawmakers. As long as investigators are responsible and are not making
these tools available to potential terrorists and limiting them to
legitimate investigations we can be safe from terrorist, Identity
Theft and Infidelity all at the same time.
