The Senate Science and Technology Committee (CCT) approved on Tuesday (28) the report by Senator Walter Pinheiro (PT) from Bahia on PLC 54, which authorizes the use of cell phone networks to locate missing persons.
The matter does not require a plenary vote and goes directly to President Dilma Rousseff for approval or veto.
According to Pinheiro, the objective is to allow mobile phone operators to rent their networks for the implementation of location services through the Global Positioning System (GPS), through which people with registered cell phones can be tracked by sending messages or accessing the internet.
