Keeping Your GPS Tracking Legal (Hint: Ok in Illinois, Not in NY)
The New York Times reports that a state appleas court struck down a lower court ruling that allowed state police to track a suspect using GPS without a warrant. Judges cited the state constitution as their guide since there is no Federal law on the books.
A Federal district court came up with a fully different response in a similar case last week: The court, in “Wisconsin decided that police can stick a GPS-tracking device on anyone they want without getting a search warrant. Even if that person is not suspected of anything more than living, breathing and expectorating.” (C|net)
So, be careful out there!
Hat tip to Duane.
