| Tracking Great subject. Used GPS tracking years ago as PD Inv. If we stuck a magnetic gps-tracker unit on a veh. exterior (behind plastic bumper facade) no search-warrant was needed. We just had to retrieve the unit for download of GPS data. Later, a combo GPS and cellphone was used that would cellphone us the GPS coordinates realtime. Again no search warrant w/ ext. mount.
Now, anyone, incl. creeps of all types can buy/make similar trackers.
See: »cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi···10167561
The cellular/GPS loc. data collection numbers are being accelerated by the profit of gathering & selling 'customer data' to commercial interests (to be pooled with consumer buying info), AND selling to the government entities who've been forced into to buying data from the private sector by the current administration.
There is big money in this private-arena free-for-all. |

kudos:1 | Hmmm, maybe I should start a demographics/research company, secretly put these on cars, and have an army of cars that are tracked with nobody knowing. Then sell the data to advertisers. |

Then again, this could make my "weekly bumper change" business very profitable... |
