"yes...they actually can whoever this is"

I'm calling BS on this, simply because of the fact that, once you remove your phones battery( I usually hold the power button for at most 20 seconds afterwards, out of old habit from having to reset some of my older phones), there is no longer a significant charge within it to power any of the phones abilities, let alone the GPS, which is, apparently, the preferred method that law enforcement uses to triangulate your location, even though, it's still not all that accurate, if say, you're in a fairly populated area( think I read it's accuracy is like 350-400 ft?)

Now, I'm definitely no tech wiz, especially when it comes to cell phones, but with the ability to Root phones nowadays too, from what I understand, there's a way to boost your phones computing ability and to make the most out of it's data connection, so I wouldn't put it past someone out there to have a Rom where you probably have more control over your phone's GPS capabilities too, since phones are only like a generation or two behind your average computer or gaming console...but don't hold me to that.

i need to find out can i track another cell phon that is not on my plan. I am with cingular and they have verizon.?

It is not possible to track cell phones when you are not the owner. If you have a family plan, some companies will allow you to track phones on your plan, but there are regulations about tracking other phones. Sometimes the police can obtain a warrant to track a phone, but they need to present hard facts to the judge why it would be necessary. Verizon has strict policies to protect their customers.

Is it ilgle to listen to a police scanner?

you cant. doing so requires special equipment more advanced than a police scanner. police in some areas use cell phones over their radio for privacy issues. for example if police are busting a party for underage drinking, they use cell phones to communicate so that anyone who has a scanner cant warn everyone to run or not answer the door. police scanners use radio waves, cell phones are on a different frequency. cell phones now also use encryption.
