I think the comments in this thread are somewhat missing the point. Its not so much an issue that bounty hunters can track you anywhere, its that anyone with a little money can access the same databases. Given the actions of the US/foreign intelligence agencies over the last couple decades, it would be foolish to think that they wouldnt be keeping their own copy of all this data. Even if you're OK with your own government having access to your current location at all times, would you also be OK with the Saudies or the Russian FSB knowing this? I think we're all past the point where the idea of individually targeted misinformation campaigns are out of the realm of scifi and are very much a real thing. Location data alone is enough to create an extremely accurate demographic/psychological profile for a person.
