In short, the government doesn't need a warrant to attach a GPS device to your car and track your movements.
This is OUTRAGEOUS.
I was alerted to this via Slashdot. Here are a couple of the comments in response to the story:
This is another example of trampling on our right like warrantless wiretapping. In this case, there's no "ticking time bomb" excuse since they have to know where your vehicle is in order to attach the device and 'tracking your movements' inherently takes time. |
I always fall back on IF YOUR NOT DOING SOMETHING WRONG THEN WHY WORRY ABOUT IT.
I am not paranoid about BIG BROTHER WATCHING ME. If they watch me, it would be a boring watch. Now if they attach a GPS on someones car, it is most likely because they suspect the owner of wrong doing and use this tool to catch the law breaker.
In these times of THE BAD GUYS ARE PROTECTED MORE THAN THE GOOD GUY, I say go for it. Like Bait cars, go get-um. Like Police Officers posing as crooks/hookers/fences, to help catch the guilty, go get-um.
