Court Allows Police to Track Citizens Using GPS
Court Allows Police to Track Citizens Using GPS
Posted by Steve Bierfeldt on 05/11/09 09:06 AM (This is the C4L member who was detained by the TSA in St. Louis for carrying cash.) chicagotribune.com Wisconsin court upholds GPS tracking by police By RYAN J. FOLEY Read the original story by clicking here. Wisconsin police can attach GPS to cars to secretly track anybody's movements without obtaining search warrants, an appeals court ruled Thursday. However, the District 4 Court of Appeals said it was "more than a little troubled" by that conclusion and asked Wisconsin lawmakers to regulate GPS use to protect against abuse by police and private individuals. As the law currently stands, the court said police can mount GPS on cars to track people without violating their constitutional rights -- even if the drivers aren't suspects. Officers do not need to get warrants beforehand because GPS tracking does not involve a search or a seizure, Judge Paul Lundsten wrote for the unanimous three-judge panel based in Madison. That means "police are seemingly free to secretly track anyone's public movements with a GPS device," he wrote.

Re: Court Allows Police to Track Citizens Using GPS
Isn't there some receiver that will pick up frequencies being transmitted out of your car?
