I don't believe apps should be able to track your location unless you specifically allow it, or unless it is an emergency, and the authorities need find you.Not knowing that these apps are tracking your location feels like an invasion of privacy.
I like most people do have an expectation of privacy when downloading an app. Unless it is a GPS app why does it need to track our whereabouts?
I don't believe under normal circumstances police should track our GPS data without a warrant. I can see tracking someone that is on probation or parole, especially if they have a restraining order against them. For the average John and Jane Doe I don't see how it is necessary.
I have posted my whereabouts, "checking in" on a certain social network, but my house was also not left unattended. I don't think it is a smart idea to post your whereabouts. There is no telling who is waiting for you to be away from home. I feel that, "checking in" is a good way to get robbed or stalked.
