This is big..

"Between at least 2012 until it closed in late 2017, a now-defunct data seller called CerCareOne allowed bounty hunters, bail bondsmen, and bail agents to find the real-time location of AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint mobile phones," Motherboard wrote. "The company would sometimes charge up to $1,100 per phone location, according to a source familiar with the company."

All 3 of these networks were illegally selling their 911 GPS data to 3rd parties and in some cases like posted above the 3rd parties had real time access to the GPS location data and then sold it to other 3rd parties.

These companies need to face immensely large fines and their CEO's need to forced to resign.

They'll get a slap on the hand.

What I'm worried about is all these cases where they used illegally obtained data now being thrown out and guilty people set free.
