I just watched The Wire (2002-2008) for the first time recently and there's a short arc where after one of the detectives learns what texting is, he proposes identifying the villain's cell phone by checking who was texting in the area at that time. His partner scoffs and asks him, "Do you have any idea how many people in the country are texting at a time? It must be thousands!!"

Later, they go to the phone company, and are floored when the representative tells them that with a subpoena, they can obtain every single text message that someone has sent in the last month.
