Oh yeah, it was normal in the US for a while.
In fact, it's used as a plot device in lots of old movies where detectives (or the Terminator) are trying to track someone down.
I was totally coming to mention how much of a security risk these were if you had to run from Terminators.
Assuming Terminators have internet access, they’ll find you way easier now.
Yeah if that movie was made in modern times, Sarah Connor's roommate would have tagged her in some thirst-trap pics on Instagram with geotagging trackers. She'd never stand a chance.
