Re: GPS Tracking
Ok, I'm late to the game again... lol.
You all act like "Big Gov" is tracking everyone all the time. There not. and yes to "attach" any tracking device to someones car they do need a warrant. However they would not do that unless you have broken the law, or the police believe you are involved in a crime that is on going. Honestly, local police have too much other things to worry about vs. tracking their populace. So that leaves the Feds and one has to think there are too many people out there for them to simply track every day. Simply put.... don't break the law and you don't have to worry. But... I think the ruling has more to do with can they use your "On-Star" to track you if need be. In this case there would be no need for a warrant because they wouldn't be "attaching" anything to your car. So the next question is why would they track you? Again only if they think you have been involved in a crime or are currently involved in one. Example; someone gives your license plate as being the bank robber. The police can find out if it has "On-Star" and track where the car is. Another example; you call 911 claiming someone stole your car. The police can locate it by using "On-Star" or even cutting off the engine if need be. |
