SF can't tell where you are when you use a cell phone because the cell phone providers don't provide that information.

They don't in Kansas, either. I reported an accident on the highway last year and they weren't able to locate me based on my cellphone's GPS.

Speaking of well managed states...California is the world's 4th largest economy. The entire Red Belt combined is smaller than California's economy.

So why do cell phone providers provide that information when you call 911 in Marion County? The 911 dispatcher literally showed me on her computer how the map displays the GPS coordinates of the cell phone, and live updates, and keeps updating even after the call has ended (for 3 minutes maybe? IDR).
