On cell phone tracking and free speech suppression

I've been writing articles on the Bill of Rights Defense Committee web site for about two and a half years now. I thought I'd put up the links to the latest posts of mine, in case anyone was interested.

The first concerns local authorities playing fast and loose with cell phone tracking. I seems that law enforcement officials are disregarding any oversight into their methodology.

The second pertains to Arizona's passing an electronic free speech suppression law. Here is an example of what this law can potentially lead to:

...it appears that the Arizona law could criminalize… any random atheist saying, ‘There is no god’ — provided some official was prepared to conclude it was done with the intention of annoying believers.

As I say in my post, who are these people that thinks these things up?
