This is a good point.

 

This points out a common tension between groups seeking authenticity and
groups seeking privacy.

 

The emergency call authorities reasonably want to prevent forging of
location, which could be used to direct responders away from something bad
about to happen.  Individuals do not want their location to be able to be
tracked in some circumstances.   

 

In North America, the tension between privacy and location authenticity is
solved with legislation: the privacy right is explicitly waived when an
emergency call is placed.   

 

This is only partially true, there are states that allow a user to request
that no ALI record is created for their phone number.  (Just want to make
sure we spin it correctly!)
