Phone Tracking Services Push Liability to Users
Australia has laws regarding tracking people via cell phones without permission:
Under the Surveillance Devices Act, anyone caught using tracking devices or spy cameras without consent faces a maximum penalty of two years’ jail and a $26,429 fine.
That does not mean that private investigators are taking responsibility when selling such services. In fact, many disavows themselves of liability, simply telling users to be sure they are using it for legal purposes. A company called Spousebusters, which per its name sells services to those who want to track spouses and partners does just that.
