Good news from SCOTUS

According to the Supreme Court, who voted UNANIMOUSLY, police agencies canNOT track you using GPS, without a warrant. Good.

The Supreme Court ruled Monday that police violated the Constitution when they attached a Global Positioning System tracker to a suspect's vehicle without a valid search warrant, voting unanimously in one of the first major cases to test privacy rights in the digital era.

The decision offered a glimpse of how the court may address the flood of privacy cases expected in coming years over issues such as cellphones, email and online documents. But the justices split 5-4 over the reasoning, suggesting that differences remain over how to apply age-old principles prohibiting "unreasonable searches."

The minority pushed for a more sweeping declaration that installing the GPS tracker not only trespassed on private property but violated the suspect's "reasonable expectation of privacy" by monitoring his movements for a month. The majority said it wasn't necessary to go that far, because the act of putting the tracker on the car invaded the suspect's property in the same way that a home search would.

I'm not sure I'll turn on the GPS tracker in my cell phone still. Being the paranoid type has kept me from doing so thus far. Actually, I just don't think it's a good idea for ANYONE to know where I am 24 by 7.

I don't even report to me wife where I am all the time!!
