who wants to know?
The fact is that no phone company personnel, and certainly no government bureaubums in 99.999% of cases, should know where a particular cellular phone user is within 30 miles. Ditto with calling line identification.

Both location and calling line are unfortunate incidental artifacts of making the communications work which some corrupt people have been quick and persistent to abuse.

The solution is to deter people in and out of government, by vigorous negative incentives, from such abuse. Deterrence requires that most incidents are detected and punished in a consistent manner in proportion to the harm being done. Or, to revise how the communication works so as to eliminate these flaws.
