Using cell phones to stalk

Stalking and spying on your spouse have now been taken to a new level. Software is now available and accessible to the public which allows someone to turn cellphones into listening devices. In a story from Channel 6 News of Tulsa, Oklahoma, a victim was stalked for three years with this technology.

During that time, she was harassed by her stalker knowing more about her and her location than she wanted him to know. Finally discovering how he was able to do it was alarming. Even more alarming was the discovery that at present, there are no laws preventing such actions from occurring with others.

Not only can the microphones on cellphones be turned on and listened to, so can the text messages. This new advance in software makes cell phones potentially dangerous when in comes to affairs.

If you’re involved with a woman like the one in “Fatal Attraction”, who stalked and terrorized her victim the software can bring with it nightmarish situations. If you are a spouse who is determined to find out what your partner is up to, such software will open up a “Brave New World” of information to you.

If you are considering having an affair, the cell phone is no longer your trusted friend.  The cell phone can be used against you, and since there are few laws against the use of such software, there are no legal roadblacks to prevent such “phone stalking” from occurring.

The technology beings a new appreciation to George Orwell’s saying, “Big Brother is watching!”. In this case, he’s listening and reading text messages as well.

If you are the resolute spouse who is considering such software, it is important to consider that although new worlds of information will be available, there is also a tremendous amount of damage inflicted on trust in the relationship.

Using such software will remove whatever trust once existed. The technology brings great relationship dangers with it when employed in a marriage or family. If you were thinking of using it on your teen, such an action has the potential of bringing great danger with it as well.
