"and who pay for it, not the law enforcement responsible, but you and me."

Even if the networks charged the law enforcement agencies you'd be paying for it!

Phone records only nab the dumb ass criminal. Any criminal with any sense shuns the telephone.

It's probably becoming standard operating procedure to request copies of phone records in any investigation these days.

Say Goodbye to the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

AT&T has 100 people, Verizon 70 , Sprint 111, T-Mobile ??? That is a lot of expense I would guess easily north of $20 million a year, and who pay for it, not the law enforcement responsible, but you and me.
