-Ever-

To make a long story short, I was in my friend's car lastnight when we were carjacked at gunpoint. I was able to dial 911 on my cell phone and dropped it under a seat before getting out of the car. I'm not sure why I did it but I did. I brought it up to an officer that helped us through the reports later on and he said that cell phone companies can't locate phones unless they're "transmitting..."

Now I know hundreds of cars are stolen everyday, but if it were, say, a huge national emergency, couldn't a cell phone company locate a phone to a certain area?

Thanks for any info.
