Court Rules Police Can Use GPS to Track You Without a Warrant

From Yahoo News:

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.

Does this mean that we can secretly put GPS devices on cop cars so that we can know where they are at all times?

    Please come onto my property in the middle of the night and lay a finger on my car, Mr. Officer. Once my wireless car-alarm fob alerts me, you better hope I can discern a uniform before Mr. Forty-Five finds you.

    Now we have no expectation of privacy on our own property … I see a 10 foot fence and gate in my future and does scale it represent breaking and entering? Liberal judges verses citizens freedoms … what a dichotomy.

    News flash…….most cop cars have GPS on them, it’s part of the mobile data terminals they use!!

    @Mike
    Pretty sure that I, as a mere mundane, do not have immediate access to the data from a GPS that is on a police car so that I can know their whereabouts at all times.
