Documents show AT&T secretly sells customer data to law enforcement

According to internal company documents revealed Monday by the Daily Beast, Hemisphere is being sold to local police departments and used to investigate everything from murder to Medicaid fraud, costing US taxpayers millions of dollars every year even while riding roughshod over privacy concerns.

Is it efficient for the Government to spend millions of dollars on cell phone records? On the other hand, it is equitable for the phone companies to be profiting off our private records?

In my opinion I kinda assumed this kind of stuff was going on but it is outrageous that the government is spending tax payers dollars on something as silly as phone records. I think they could find somewhere else to spend that millions of dollars a year, such as welfare.
