Courts - "Do Police Need Warrants For GPS Tracking Devices?"
United States v. Jones, the GPS tracking case, is being heard today before the SCOTUS. Nina Totenberg had an excellent, 7 min 25 sec backgrounder this morning on NPR's Morning Edition. A sample:
"If the Supreme Court gave a green light [to warrantless GPS tracking, then] any officer can install any GPS device for any reason on anybody's car, even if the officer thinks it would be interesting to know where Supreme Court justices go at night when they leave the courthouse. No one would be immune from having a GPS device installed on their vehicles." Walter Dellinger
