Cops: U.S. law should require logs of your text messages
The law enforcement proposal would require wireless providers to record and store customers' SMS messages -- a controversial idea akin to requiring them to surreptitiously record audio of their customers' phone calls -- in case police decide to obtain them at some point in the future.

In that case why don't they spy on me 24/7. Watch what I look at online, listen in to all my calls, put cameras in my house watch me eat, shower, have sex, clean up, put one in my vehicle too that way they can log every road I travel

I doubt you're that important of a person to spy on.

Whats the point of even having a judicial system, and going through due process to subpoena the records through the courts?

I really wish they would just cut to the chase and strip us of our freedoms in a single shot, that way, at least, Americans aren't simply eased into the apathy of being in a police state and would do something about this.

Even though I have nothing to hide, its info that should not be stored. I'd be disabling SMS/MMS asap. They can keep the time/date/phone # stamp all they want, but the contents of the message, not for them.

It is, to a certain degree. But that is not the issue. The issue is the access to records, and how the legal, due process of getting the records is a subpoena from the court system.

I too often wondered if that wasn't already happening. But then seriously keeping 15 pages of someone replying LOL or I *heart* you? My guess is 90% of us haven't got a single solitary text worth saving....

If anything, they can treat it like a phone call. Cant tap it until you get a warrant. Cant save it until you have a warrant.

Simple, cos we'd rise up.

Throw a frog into a pot of boiling water and it tries to hop out.

Heat up the pot with the frog already in there, and it boils to death.
