SHOULD POLICE BE ALLOWED TO ATTACH AND TRACK YOUR CAR WITH A GPS DEVICE, CONSTITUTIONALLY WRONG?

they shouldnt but they are trying to

Not without a warrant. But it doesn’t matter, the USA is quickly becoming a police state and there isn’t much people can do about it.

Fear is a very strong emotion.

I love this statement “is essentially the same as having an officer trail someone, just cheaper and more accurate. Most of the time, as was done in the Foltz case, judges have sided with police. ”

Well get off your lazy asses and tail them then. I guess they were too busy setting up speed traps to tail a possible rape suspect.

if they had tailed the guy maybe a girl wouldn’t have been dragged into the woods, instead they just go “oh look, dude is in the woods, lets check it out”

Mean while a woman is still traumatized in an effort to “save money”

As long as the courts approve, I guess. The sad state of affairs is that in today’s America, you can no longer trust your neighbor, the police, the justice system or elected officials. You can’t trust them, and we (in many parts of the country) are not allowed our Constitutional Right to Bear Arms, so we can’t even protect ourselves.

No I don’t agree without a warrant. If they suspect someone then they can follow them- keep them under surveillance. The tracking without a warrant seems un-constitutional to me & a little bit to “Big Brother”.

How do we know that GPS is not already built into these new GM’s? After all they hold the purse strings at GM and the UAW owns GM. And we know who the UAW supported in the last election. And besides, you have a cell phone you have a tracking device when it’s on. The day will come,with this administration, that GPS will be mandatory on all Autos. How else will they keep track of how far we are driving. You know! for the common good.

They should only be allowed to do this to people who need to be kept track of….like child molesters.

If they have a warrant they will. You voted for them you got what you asked for.

If you have on-star or GPS enabled phone you did it to yourself. We have choices, choose wisely.

Without a warrant it is a total invasion of our rights. I kind of even agree with the person above me, that even with a warrant I don’t like this idea. Our civil liberties are at risk in every way when we stop standing up for them. This is supposed to be a free country and we are supposed to be proud of our freedom. This story makes me furious. I saw it on the news and started yelling at the TV. Why does the government think they can keep up with this spying on people? There seems to be cameras everywhere, talk of GPS devices, and phone companies willing to help turn our conversations over to the govt without question.

Something is seriously wrong. I don’t want anyone to get scared, quite the opposite. It is annoying and frustrating that we have not stood up to govt bullying yet. We will, I just am not sure when…
