but I live in the USA. I have heard over and over about the ability to track, that does not equate to actually tracking. You can easily opt out of any possibility of police tracking your cell phone by just turning it off. Then there is no possibility that it can be tracked. That is pretty simple. The NSA are not police, they are not allowed to track US citizens.
No matter where you live, you have to interact with others and information about you is going to be stored. This is in addition to the information that many share on social media. That does not make a police state.
