Ron Wyden, a Democratic senator from Oregon whose work often focuses on tech and privacy, sent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.documentcloud.org\/documents\/4457471-Wyden-letter-to-the-FCC-over-Securus.html\">a letter to the FCC<\/a> this week demanding an investigation.<\/p>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top\" data-component=\"medusaContentRecommendation\" data-medusa-content-recommendation-options=\"{&quot;promo&quot;:&quot;promo_ZD_recommendation_sharethrough_top_in_article_desktop&quot;,&quot;spot&quot;:&quot;dfp-in-article&quot;}\">\n<\/section>\n<p>Wyden said the system allows police and government employees to conduct unauthorized and warrantless surveillance, and it &#8220;needlessly exposes millions of Americans to potential abuse and surveillance by the government.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Securus said it required an &#8220;official document giving permission&#8221; to obtain real-time location data, but Wyden&#8217;s office said that Securus officials make no effort to verify the purported authorizations.<\/p>\n<p>Securus provides this real-time location data through a self-service portal for police, said Wyden, for &#8220;nothing more than the legal equivalent of a pinky promise.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wyden also sent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.documentcloud.org\/documents\/4457470-Wyden-letter-to-Verizon-over-Securus.html\">letters to the cell carriers<\/a> demand answers.

It should make clear that this conduct, which essentially coerces individuals into &#8216;consenting&#8217; to location tracking or other surveillance, and which fails to confirm the validity of search warrants before tracking people&#8217;s cell phones, raises serious questions under existing federal law and must be halted,&#8221; the post read. &#8220;Additionally, they must take steps to ensure that telecommunications providers themselves adequately safeguard data from this type of abuse.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The cell carriers are investigating, the report said.<\/p>\n<div
