    I am for this. I look forward to rapist, theives and murderers being caught by this method. This method is constitutionally grounded. 4th Amendment: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against un-reasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." In this case, your car is not searched, house not searched, etc., and, therefore, no warrant is even neccessary to track you. The privilege to drive on municiple roads does not come with a constitutionally gauranteed right to private travel. Government institutions are in place to prevent the abuse of power by a hypothetical rouge crime fighter where the ultimate authority lies in the people who elect state governors and their attorney's general.

    Your property rights are violated. Why not just make it mandatory that all cars must be fitted with GPS police tracking? Why not go a step further and make it mandatory that all people must carry GPS ID cards? Do you understand the concept of property rights? Nobody has a right to attach anything to my car without my explicit permission. Also it is not a privilege to use public roads, they belong to the people.

      This is already legal in most of the US. If you actually read the article, you'll notice that appeals court has already ruled that it's ILLEGAL in Washington D.C., and the Justice Department is trying to get them to change their mind. That's how the system works. The Justice Department does all it can to prosecute criminals, while the court system makes sure they follow the law. Checks and balances. This is actually a GOOD thing, because if the appeals court shoots them down again (Ruling that it's illegal/inadmissible without a warrant), it might set a precedent that could lead to this becoming illegal in the rest of the country as well.

          Maybe I should write a book about all the crap that get's posted by him and other people's responses. It would be gold. Since being a complete tool takes such great talent CSS would always be #1. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

            Not back here we won't and it would appear to be a great many other places as well. You can't have constructive dialog with someone who calls the president a racist or asks to see his birth certificate. People like CSS don't want checks and balances, they just want it their way. Kinda like Burger King, I know bad joke. ;P

              It does violate property rights. Attaching something to someone's property is a violation of property rights. Tracking that person's every move is a violation of privacy. Can't you get it through your head that the government is criminally dangerous? These people are not good people, they are predators.

                But you're attaching a thing to my property without my consent, you're using MY property to track me down, so it's a property rights issue. If you want to follow each step I take, well, they will have to find ways where my property is not used, they can put people to follow me, like in the movies, but at the very first moment you use my property against me without a warrant I'll make sure the case is dismissed before you can say Captain Brain Fart.

                  This is not a rule to base decisions on. Meter-maids mark your tires with chalk to see if stay past 2 hours in a parking space. They attached chalk to your tire. You can wipe it off if you like, but it is reasonable to allow them to do it. A GPS device is no different.

                          As far as I've seen, in the US we have a complete lack of punishment for such things. Unless you can claim a direct loss of some kind due to use/abuse/theft/damage to your property it doesn't get counted. And they aren't using your property, they just put something on it and are using that. Or at least that'd be the first response I could hear coming out of the supporters of this.

                                  Is a license plate ok? Should people take off their license plate if they want?

                                  Personally I don't think you need a license to operate a motor vehicle. The only thing licensing is good for is revenue collecting. There may be some need for identifying a hit and run suspect or a gas thief, a ID number plate attached to the vehicle can be worked into law the same as having to have turn signals and break lights. The issue is not what the law says about the type of vehicles that are permitted to be driven on public roads, the issue is someone attaching a GPS device to your car without your knowledge (even when it is in your driveway) WITHOUT A WARRANT and having a government thug track your every move.

                                    The case is an important test of privacy rights as GPS devices have become a common tool in crime fighting, and can be affixed to moving vehicles by an officer shooting a dart. Three other circuit courts have already said the authorities do not need a warrant for GPS vehicle tracking.[^] You worthless backrooms scum need to wake the fuck up and submit to hardcore tyranny.

                                    Don't worry, they won't need to affix anything to your car - they've already got their spy satellites tracking you.

                                      Who needs a satellite? When the wind blows a certain direction I'm pretty sure I can smell him from here

                                        Thats a very drastic way of tracking your pizza delivery!

                                        You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start

                                          It's more a matter of what the law actually states, rather than what you assume it means. There is nothing saying someone cannot touch your car, as it's more or less inevitable that someone will intentionally or otherwise. There's no law against setting something on your car even, as much as it may annoy you. There is also no given law against tracking a transmitter that just so happened to be set on your car. If the law doesn't say they can't do it, quite explicitly, they'll just find another way to do it. They're joyfully exploiting technicalities to violate the privacy of the individual, if you actually have any interest in protecting your privacy rather than your property I'd recommend addressing it as such.
