There is always potential for misuse. I feel comfortable in saying that you have little to fear regarding law enforcement abusing the technology, if that is what you meant.

Makes sense, good to know the technology is mature enough to be effective. I wouldn't worry about LE abusing it but I would be concerned if criminals (such as stalkers) got ahold of it and managed to use it to track their victims. Not a likely situation, I'll admit. Thank you for your response
