[Carjackd]

I think if you are worried about that you may have bigger issues than just the security settings on your device.

Texting is not a secure form of communication and they have the tech to listen in on your calls using a sting ray. BlackBerry can't protect you from either of those scenarios.

Not necessarily, if you know you have not been proven guilty, then you can have a reasonable expectation of a privacy.

And unfortunately, there is no way of stopping the cops from doing so. However, they probably have limited human resources as well; and they would not be interested in you if you have not done anything wrong.

8. check the dog for leaks
9. ingest all available prescription medications
10. ingest all available recreational medications and elixirs.

You can't know for sure.

Try using BBM protected. It'll encrypt your messages end-to-end using device based keys.

If your device or the other persons device gets into the wrong hands and either one of you has a weak password then your caution won't save you.

Typically, police in the US need a warrant issued by a judge based on specific grounds to suspect of a particular crime. That's not to say that alone will protect you from surveillance, but information acquired illegally will often not be admissible in a court of law.

It doesn't matter if your phone have the best security or encryption software. Cops can easily get a warrant and go through to the phone service provider and ask for your call logs, your location and text messages.

[DenverRalphy]

How can you tell? Simple... If your illicit activities are only coordinated via text/SMS or phone calls, and the cops have an uncanny knack to interrupt those plans... That's a pretty good indicator.

Well I heard they have their own towers built in their cars. So everytime your near them, youre using their towers instead of the provider (ex: att, tmobile, etc.)

Not sure how much they access there but I heard la cops can scan up to like 10000 license plates at a range so it tells them who has a warrant and stuff like that.

Intelligence was an excellent show on CBC a few years ago for a few seasons. Mostly followed CSIS, but still could listen on calls from their offices, just needed a warrant.

Bonus points for starting at 10.

You won't know. But they can easily if they want to at any time.

Why do people automatically assume that someone is doing something illegal if they don't want their private communications to remain that, private?
If you weren't protected by the Constitution or Charter Rights in Canada then is it ok for law enforcement to arrest you for no reason because you put a lock on your door? What's the difference there? Do you have something to hide or doing something illegal in your home that you need to put locks to prevent law enforcement from just walking in anytime they feel like it?
Why do people encrypt their hard drives, files or use encryption in the first place? What are you hiding by using encryption? You must be doing something illegal then.

I carry my phone wrapped in no less than two layers of foil and tucked inside an anti-static bag. I don't get any calls but I also don't worry about being traced... And I use pay phones to make calls...

As for text, I use mental telepathy... I open the door on my shiny hat and am careful not to transmit more than 12 seconds for any one message. This way they can't trace me.

And since my text are only one way, I have to use delivery notification.... Get this, the next time I see the person, I ask if they got my message and no one ever admits to receiving the message... Now how's that for security???

Don't forget tinted windows, that obviously means you're doing something illegal in the car...

[TheScionicMan]

My rule of thumb: if you write it down, say it out loud or transmit it electronically, consider it compromised and susceptible to interception.

Ugh, cause they specifically say cops and not hackers/bad guys/theft identity, etc. If one specifically said private communications and not "cops", then the language in the replies will also be different. For the most part, anyways.

[bakron1]

Bottom line is anytime your connected to the grid, anyone could be out there listening to your calls or monitoring your messages. My philosophy is life is to short to worry about that kind of stuff.

If you you want to be a 100% secure then I suggest you get rid of every communication device you have, lock yourself into a cellar with a large supply of food and prepare yourself for a lonely existence.
