Oh yes, so installing an app to keep track of someone is just as wrong as cheating on your husband in a relationship you've established to be exsclusive?

Apple's Find My Friends App Catches Cheating Wife

People saying its violation of trust but...if he installed the app and later found out that his wife was as faithfull as they get then it would have been silly of him and he would have felt stupid.
BUT she did cheat on him so he was right. What if he didnt do anything and just kept this going for ages before finally somehow finding out. IT would be a major waste of time. Better to find out sooner than later.

Suppose he was an alien who abducted her with his space ship to do some anal probing...Somebloke said:
Yes fiction is very fun but it's not much of an argument on reality.
No. But that's not what we're talking about here is it?Somebloke said:
OT: Fair play to him. Can't believe so many people here are saying that this is as bad as his wife cheating on him. He had his suspicions and they turned out to be right. I'm not even sure that this would be unusable in court. Like someone else said earlier, if he'd hired a private detective then nobody would have a problem with that, but it's the same principle.
If he'd had a restraining order on him, I doubt very much she'd have accepted any phone as a gift. So that kind of makes this analogy rather moot...Somebloke said:
I say score one for the husband. Now I will use my imagination to picture him making her life hell for it is what she deserves.
I feel a tad disappointed in this community. When the staff ran a story on how a laptop technician installed remote viewing software and convinced female victims to take their laptop into the bathroom, the prevailing response was: "morons, if you knew anything about computer tech this wouldn't have happened."
Contrast that to this story, and everyone is suddenly more concerned with upholding the woman's rights to privacy - even in the face of the fact that she has been caught cheating, causing god knows what kind of emotional trauma to the bloke.

Well I don't think those would apply since when he tampered with the phone it was still his and techincally the AP just tracked the phone, which she willingly accepted, not her actual being, if he had say put a tracking device in her then maybe but putting one in his phone then giving her said phone? I don't know its shaky groundemeraldrafael said:
On the other hand I don't know if, "SEE? SHE WAS AT ANOTHER MANS HOUSE whom we had established she knows. see? I have these easily editable screen shots showing that her phone was there when she said she was somewhere else!", is enough evidence to hold up in court. I mean she could argue all manner of things from, I was just stopping by a friends house to say hi on the way home, or I forgot my phone there earlier today. There's no law in America that says a wife has to constantly tell her husband where shes going and who shes hanging out with nor is there a law saying she can't be friends with other men and that is hardly proof that she was doing anything wrong. Given I will admit its certainly suspicious that they would have a happy relationship AND she would have contact with other men.
Once again there are a lot of alternative scenarios that could be going on here, although he sounds waaaaaaay to happy about this IMO and the fact that wife hasn't been given a chance to defend herself yet seems pretty wrong to me. you know what? this reminds me of Scrubs, that tv show about doctors where everyone is just... evil...
Hang on, he's assuming she's cheating only because she wasn't where she said?
Unless he has something to show her actually screwing this other guy, her not being where she said means nothing. That screenshot doesn't prove cheating.
Edit: Am I just missing something here?

Funny thing is; you did, but still missed the point.FelixG said:
He wouldn't need to give her a phone - he just needs access to one that she may own already - either himself, or by proxy.
Malevolent individuals using cheap GPS trackers; has happened, several times. The phone app just adds another avenue and it is a rather sneaky trojan horse one.
This is not all about this particular case - it is just fortunate that the first one making it to the press was not a rather more depressing one. Find My Friends is a very useful tool, but make no mistake - like other useful tools is can be abused.
(...and I am not sure how much of a favour the man is doing himself, by immediately gloating about the whole thing in public...)
Funny how the overwhealming majority of posts in this thread are in support of the guy, but so many of them suggest otherwise.
Didn't scan the entirity of the posts here, but was I the only person who chuckled at the mention of 'meat packing' in the message screenshots given the situation?
As for the morality of the issue, ***** deserved it. If you invade someone's privacy for the heck of it then you're just being a dick. If you do it to reveal that your wife is screwing someone else then the ends justify the means.

Well, if it turns out she was cheating on him in the place she was, when she said she would be elsewhere, I've got no sympathy for her and her cheating. If it turns out to be a major misunderstanding or a pre-emptive assumption that turns out to be wrong, well.. obviously things just a lot more complicated for the two, and the husband just landed in some seriously hot water.
Now, to await the next thread where the positions are switched, and everyone congratulates the woman for her clever use of technology to spy on her "scumbag, obviously cheating husband" and her eventual court triumph!...

I do computer forensics from time to time and I have a healthy sideline in pulling msg logs of phones for aggrieved parties, male or female.
In the UK there are strict rules on how and when you can intercept a message in transmission (the definition of transmission took years to define alone) but in most cases this only gets called into question during a criminal investigation. During civil cases like divorce the fact that this evidence exists is usually enough to force and out of court settlement. Unless you have a solicitor (lawyer) that thinks they can get the evidence dismissed, which is near impossible in a civil case.
I also smell a little corporate manoeuvring in this story, people snooping on spouses is not news unless it has a fresh spin and oh look the new shiny iPhone has been used! it's either Apple or a tech-journo with column inches to fill and nothing else worth printing.
