Tracking employees by mobile phone

by Patrick Altoft on August 7, 2006

A Scottish based company is about to release software to allow bosses to spy on employess and track their every move.

Trisent has developed the Trilocator which tracks the locations of a workers mobile phone using satellite technology. Although the phone alerts the user to the fact they are being tracked the product has already outraged civil liberties groups. Apparently employers will need to follow certain rules about using the systems in practice.

Mobile phone tracking laws were relaxed a few months ago to allow parents to track children for safety reasons. We reported about the forthcoming phonesitter product recently.

Hi,
I would like to know what mobile phone to use for tracking other mobile ie tracking my family. Do I need permission to any one? How much does it cost?
Is there any plan? Does it realy work in Australia by tracking another person by mobile? Where can I, purchase or look at the mobile phone.
Thank you
Daisy Westmore
