So what everyone is saying is caller ID is worthless and a waste of money, since you can't depend on it being accurate. The phone companies should be required to notify you of this before subscribing to the service.

Is it absolutely impossible for the telephone companies to prevent and/or fix this breech? Isn't this something like a security hole in the telcos? I hope what sites like this do is PO enough consumers to demand the telcos fix what's apparently broken. As far as law enforcement needing this service, I think it's a bunch of crap. It's an excuse to make it sound legitimate. The only ones who will use it are telemarketers, collection agencies, sickos, and anyone else who doesn't respect your privacy (or the law).
