Mass Supreme Judicial Court: Installing GPS with Warrant OK
The highest court in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts upheld the right of police to install GPS tracking device to track suspects so long as a judge grants a warrant. The court ruled, unanimously, that such action “does not violate the ban on unreasonable search and seizure in the state’s Declaration of Rights.”
But, there are some stipulations: The officers, must of course convince a judge a warrant is appropriate and the “devices can be installed for up to 15 days before police must show why the devices need to remain in place.”
