not so much, i had a discussion with a 911 dispatch manager that told me, yes the cell phone can be tracked by the nearest tower(s) but it wont give them an exact position, it gives them anywhere from 100 meters - 2 mile block to search in. not everything you see in movies (triangulating a cellphone) is true....

Old signature just wasn't doing it for me anymore, so now I have this new one. It's equally as stupid but at least it looks really long. I'm probably just going to keep typing until I run out of things to babble about and see how many people actually read this. I once ran down a hill, fell down and hurt my elbow; my mom said I would be ok, she kissed it and made it all better. I've run out of things to say now, so if you have read this whole thing, congratulations you get a gold star!
