The Government Can Use GPS to Track Your Moves

Government agents can sneak onto your property in the middle of the night, put a GPS device on the bottom of your car and keep track of everywhere you go. This doesn't violate your Fourth Amendment rights, because you do not have any reasonable expectation of privacy in your own driveway - and no reasonable expectation that the government isn't tracking your movements.

That is the bizarre - and scary - rule that now applies in California and eight other Western states. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which covers this vast jurisdiction, recently decided the government can monitor you in this way virtually anytime it wants - with no need for a search warrant.

Court allows agents to secretly put GPS trackers on cars

Law enforcement officers may secretly place a GPS device on a person's car without seeking a warrant from a judge, according to a recent federal appeals court ruling in California.

 

That's just f*cked up.


I'm completely against this kind of unregulated behavior from law enforcement.

They already use cell phones to track people just as a GPS system could. The only difference is, they can't track a phone without a battery in it.


They have scanners you can use to check your vehicle for any sort of tracking devices that may be attached to it.

 

Remember the words of GEORGE ORWELL (1984):

BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING!



Might very well pay to just be a pedestrian or bicyclist...


..or to rely on Public Transportation, at least....

Governments could embed RFID readers throughout cities and towns. By scanning any RFID tags carried on your person, and linking to databases, they could track your every move.

 

Hell, for all we know, this could very well be the Mark Of The Beast that people have been talking about in oh, so MANY times and in so MANY ways..
