911 only works when a call is being made, and even then the signal is routed through Canada or India. In the Bay Area for example, it's anyone's guess where a cell phone call to 911 will end up -- or how long it will take for a dispatcher to answer. Also around 15% of older cell phones don't have 911 service. The FCC has failed to mandate that all carriers use the same technology in their E911 systems, and they probably won't for a while as the carriers are fighting them tooth and nail, so we're not worried about cell phones tracking us

Also, this technology won't stop the so-called crimes, it will only shuffle them around.
