Some information about the users (like GPS tracks) can in some countries be illegal unless the user wants this (even if the user is the thief). Information retrieved illegally can not be used to put the thief in jail and I believe that in some places in the US, the thief might put you through a lawsuit and win (you always hear crazy stories from the US legal system).
In Norway, we have something called Datatilsynet. Their main task is to protect peoples privacy, and they are run by the government. I can ask them if this would be legal in Norway. But for the other places, I think people just need to figure out. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
