Ethical Paper on Cell Phone Tracking and CheatingIn recent years, technology has become the driving force of human productivity and efficiency. Technology has been integrated into our daily lives to help us carry out daily activities and bridge long-distance communications.

Even if the person has good moral standards, sometimes the right decision to make is not always clear.

Another ethical concern this raises is the violation of Fourth Amendment privacy protections. Law enforcement officials have the right to access personal location data without giving probable cause to a judge (ACLU 1). Although this may create an unsettling feeling, I believe that the government has taken these measures to ensure the security of the country.
