Sorry, but none of those links said anything about Missouri, nor about specifically tracking us to check our speed. I'm telling you that right now, one specific cell provider that I know of, Sprint, is overwhelmed by the number of cell records requests of all forms. It is not fully automated, I'm assuming a human has to have security access and such to request and process each request.
There is NO interface there for them to track speed, only general location during a selected period. As your Ledger article reveals, they only have resolution down to about 300 yards. And how do they know what car I'm in or if I'm on a bus, train, passenger in a car, jet or whatever?
I still call BS.
