Court upholds tracking suspects with GPS

Washington Post,

A convicted sex offender being tracked as a suspect in a string of sexual assaults, did not have his rights violated when Fairfax police secretly placed a global positioning system (GPS) device on his vehicle without a warrant, the Virginia Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday.

After 11 attacks on women in eastern Fairfax County in 2008, many in the Falls Church area, detectives zeroed in on David L. Foltz because he lived in the area and was previously convicted of rape. He had served 17 years in prison and was released in 2007.

Detectives placed a GPS device inside the bumper of a van he used for work, which was parked on the street in front of his house. The device later showed that Foltz had been near one of the attacks.

  • 1. · i've been following this case, and to me the logic/argument made here is valid and makes sense.

    if the police are allowed to track someone on foot, by car, etc. 24/7 without a warrant, then it follows that utilizing technology that does the same a human can is OK without a warrant.

    of course turnabout is fair play, and this same logic allows one to follow/track/tail a police officer 24/7 and not be breaking any laws, if that's what one wants to do.

    it's already been made clear that we don't really own our cell phone data. the carriers do. we are their customers, nothing more. there is no fiduciary responsibility to act in our best interests.

    But why would you?

  • 3. · i certainly wouldn't. i have better things to do with my time.

    it is important to point out that the logic works both ways.

    or if you prefer the snark you've come to expect from me...

    public photography of pretty much any building (save for military installations and nuclear facilities) is not illegal, yet some ill-informed police are arresting people for committing no crime at all.

    why would they do that?

    because they can.
