Ninth Circuit Court Rules in Favor of Warrantless GPS Tracking
Federal agents can now enter your property without warrant and track you in nine western states
Most would consider the Constitution is one of the finest achievements by the U.S. people and has viewed as a paradigm internationally. However, in an age of technological revolution, members of U.S. local, state, and national level -- on both sides of the aisle -- are increasingly viewing some of the Constitution's guaranteed rights as inappropriate or at least subject to review.
Among them is the Fourth Amendment, part of the original Bill of Rights. It states:
While some developments such warrantless wiretaps or police arrests of people who photograph them have ruffled feathers in the past, a new legal precedent is raising more than a few eyebrows.
Under the laws of California and eight other Western states, state, local, or federal agents can sneak onto your property without a warrant, plant a GPS tracking device on your vehicle and monitor your movements 24-7 -- without a warrant.
The ruling has already been upheld at the federal level via a U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit decision.
