No, the police can not have you Track phone traced. They can not get enough data, and information on it. As long as you pay with cash, you should be fine. Just always be careful. Try texting rather then calling because, sometimes the police can track your call by finding out what "Signal Tower" your phone used to recieve signal to recieve/ and or make a call.

this isnt true. they call main phone companies and run the phone number to see if its pinged off their tower. calling or texting has nothing to do with it, they can ping at any time as long as the phone is on. paying cash has nothing to do with it lmao

Yes. A mobile phone is tracked by the signals it receives and what transmitters they are near at the time. It doesn't matter whether your phone is prepaid or billed. You can have the exact same phone as another person who has a bill phone, so the way they are tracked will be the same.

Can cellphone calls be traced?

All cellphones, even old analog phone, can be tracked to some degree. Those programmed with GPS software can be tracked directly with a relative degree of accuracy. In the infancy of the cellphone industry, it was possible to track the cell from where a phone was accessing the system (switch). From this, it was relatively easy to narrow down a rough location of a cell phone user. This can still be done today. With modern cellphones, even if the phone is turned off, outside access is possible to determine location, provided a power source remains constant. Remove the battery, remove the access.

How do you go into hiding in the us?

It's really hard to go into hiding in today's world. You'd have to quit using plastic at all, because your cards can be traced; cell phones can be traced also, so you'd have to use disposable phones or quit using phones at all. The best way would be to go someplace way out in the wilderness and camp, but you'd have to learn how to survive out there.
