My new girlfriend has a tracking device in her phone - The fuck do I do about it?

get android sdk plug it in and you should be able to find the app and disable it or cripple it
or use an app called fake gps what will let you set the location so you could set it to Antarctica or middle of the ocean for cheap laughs maybe
i personally think your girlfriend needs to have a talk with her parents about having a boyfriend and all that goes with it. she should convince them that she's responsible and can think for herself. she should also convince them that if she's going anywhere, she could just tell them where she goes.
maybe it's just me who has had less strict teenage years, but tracking your kid and her boyfriend seems excessive.

No, screw you. Everyone of every age deserves at least a [I]degree[/I] of privacy.
[QUOTE=Zeke129;42696541]I don't agree.
There's a point where violating your child's privacy becomes so overwhelming and potentially causes such psychological distress that it borders on child abuse. A 24/7 location tracker pushes this border.
Privacy should be a fundamental human right because it's just so important to mental wellbeing.[/QUOTE]
And I don't agree with you. A parent has every right to know where her child is or what does her/his child does no matter the circumstances. I'm not talking about really intimate details, but general idea of what your daughter/son does throughout the day and where is a really good and legit strategy. What if something happens and fuck knows where your child is?
Now I'm not denying the fact that the tracker stuff is over the top stupid, but again, a general idea of where your child is and what does it do is pretty much mandatory for me, for my GF, and for other guys in here.
The trick here is to mortify her parents to such an extreme degree that they no longer want to know anything about what their daughter is up to in her spare time. Flood her phone with pornographic images of a horrifying nature, take her phone to the dirtiest clubs in town, make fake text logs with names like "Big D" and "Stinky Pete" and "LongStrong," and have a fursuit shipped to her house.

It puts the tracker in the phone. It puts the fucking tracker in the phone or else it gets the hose!
Slowly but surely take the phone to a field and draw a huge cock so that when they put the tracking data in to google maps, they see a huge cock and get the message
Guys,
Under LAW when you are a minor you are dependent on your parents. Rights that you may normally have do not really apply here, otherwise phone tracking would be illegal. I am not saying I agree with tracking your kids, but most of you seem to think you have more rights than you actually do.
Don't worry, I'm 22, we have all been through that period in life.

[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;42711228]I've never been through a phase in life where my parents mistrust me to the level of constantly tracking me. Are you sure your parents are psychologically healthy?[/QUOTE]
I never said I was traced, but we have all been at the point where our parents babysit us. Not to that extreme though.

No need to bring his parents into this, there is no evidence that his parents did that. Especially considering that he is absolutely right, from a legal standpoint there isn't anything that can be done because they are completely within their right to do what they're doing until.
That being said, we're completely within our ability to resist the fuck out of what our parents do. Hell I'd be worried if someone [I]didn't[/I] rebel at some point.
SO by all means! Resist! Fight back! Work against what they're doing!

[/QUOTE]
See, my parents were never batshit insane, so the way the kept track of me is either ask me where I'm going or where I'll be (pre cell phone era) or ring me to see where i am if they need me.

I haven't, because they actually had trust that I'd be where I said I was going and that I'd be home on time. And in kind, I'd not lie to my parents about where I was going so it was a mutually beneficial cycle, they never had a problem with wherever I went, because I told them I'd be there.

The only time I had a babysitter he was high as fuck and we watched the first two bionicle movies twice back to back.
He-he loved it.
That sucks.
[QUOTE=LunaBadger;42696285]I don't want to start a debate, but I have to counter, what about her daughter's right to privacy?[/QUOTE]
While I do agree, some parents might say something stupid like, "she doesn't have privacy until she's 18 or living under her own roof and supporting herself." Just saying. . .
"She won't know how to support herself if you don't fucking let her do it now you fucking scumbag" is the obvious counter response.
If it logs trails of movement, find an open field or something and slowly walk around until the trail looks like "FUCK YOU" or "HER PUSSY IS TIGHT" to her parents when they see what's been happening.
Break the phone.
Depending on how batshit her mom really is, she probably bought a good phone tracking suite. You don't need GPS to find a phone.
See cell phone triangulation.
[QUOTE=Irkalla;42708843]
For now, I'd watch for if she's showing curiosity in who's texting you or who you were talking to on the phone or what was said and all that. Learn what she expects from you regarding these things, and other things like smoking, pornography, and other vices. Make absolutely clear to her that your business is your business, but do so in a way that isn't unfair to her.
[/QUOTE]
She doesn't care about porn viewing, me or anyone else, so long as I'm not being a douche and watching it over paying attention to her. As for smoking, I wouldn't go near that anyways. Neither of them are vices in my opinion though, though the former is a pretty stupid idea. She's not one of those people thankfully, doesn't really seem to care.

Realistically, her having the tracker isn't going to affect her day to day very much at all. Stop making it out to sound so terrible.[/QUOTE]
It's not only "In emergencies" it's all the damn time.

[QUOTE=glitchvid;42709465]Most kids like this get totally screwed once they finally have the freedom to fuck, drink, and smoke; I've seen it happen to all of the 'perfect' Mormon kids that graduate from HS.[/QUOTE]
I totally agree. It reminds me of abstinence only sex education, doesn't work worth a damn.
Simple solution:
- Go to library
- Hide phone in geology section (nobody ever comes there)
- Go somewhere else
Bonus: Parents think she is a good girl studying hard. If they call her, just have her tell them the phone was on silent setting because its a library.
1. Get something rough (sandpaper's a good choice)
2. Rub against top of phone, towards the back.
3. Root phone, install Titanium Backup, freeze tracker app
4. Claim phone was dropped, assume GPS was damaged because of this
I would get a go-phone, or something similar and forward all of her calls from her real phone to the go-phone in case her mom calls, then leave her phone at your house and go somewhere else. Obviously you won't be able to go on an all day excapade, but would work well for "going to the movies" or something similar for 2 or 3 hours. Always keep the go-phone at your house with the sim and battery out while it's not in use. It's not a permanent solution, but it will allow you guys at least some privacy.

Stop being melodramatic. You are seeing it from a fellow adolescent's point of view and not thinking at all about what a parent might feel like. Just because you made it through without a tracker and an overbearing parent doesn't mean everyone else can too.
It's not like they watch it every second of every day. Rationally, the tracker is to be used in a last resort method to finding your child when they otherwise cannot or will not answer the phone. I think that is plenty fair.
Whether you like it or not, there are benefits to having a tracker for safety reasons.

Just because they can know where she is all the time, doesn't mean they observe it religiously. Perhaps your situation is unique in that they are taking it too far, but trackers have legitimate uses for the safety of children and adolescents.
If I was hurt and unable to answer or use my phone, I wouldn't mind having my 'privacy' breached so a relative could know where I was at.
Download a GPS spoofing app
[QUOTE=MakoSkyDub;42695454]I don't understand what difference this makes to your relationship
It's a tracker right? Not like a RECORDING device or something
If her parental trio are over protective and weird then you'll probably have some kind of issues down the line, but I don't see why you give a shit about this.[/QUOTE]
Actually it might be. Several phone tracking programs can be used like this, and can record voice without it being visible.
Bomb it

Or "Ask her how my dick tastes!"
Or "Ask her how many babies she's swallowed"
OP I wonder, why does your GF's mother track her in the first place then?
She must be concerned she does something stupid, or goes somewhere where she shouldn't. So.. why don't you two behave like she expects?

Fuck in a library?
Seriously, that's stupid. Ever heard of privacy?
Dump her OP, there's not much you can do. You spoof GPS - she's fucked, you block transmission - she's fucked. Either way either one of you will be fucked.
or tie her phone to a quadcopter and fly it around the city. Do this consistently until her parents get annoyed that its obviously not working correctly.

Oh, and assuming the data points are timestamped, take timestamped pictures of your two doing normal things while you fly it in circles as evidence of your innocence.
