A cellphone is effectively you in the eyes of the law.

Any automobile may be driven by many people. Only 30% of households are single-person households.

We'll see how this plays out in courts. I'll bet the license plate readers survive. More skeptical about facial recognition though.

No. I just laid out the reasons why cell tower data is different. It has nothing to do with whether a cellphone "is effectively you," which obviously it's not.
