SCOTUS Hears GPS Tracking Case

After a spate of different rulings across the country on whether or not the feds can attack GPS tracking devices to a person's vehicle without a warrant, one case is finally making it to the Supreme Court. Antoine Jones, a former club owner in Washington D.C. whom police suspected of running a drug ring. Police actually did obtain a warrant in this case, but placed the tracker onto Jones' car after the warrant had expired, and then monitored his activities for a month. At question is the 4th amendment right against unreasonable search and seizure. Could this case be a game changer or just a drop in the bucket when it comes to constant surveillance, by both private and public actors? Cato's Julian Sanchez discusses.

There will be stupid people saying "I have nothing to hide, so I don't mind" and because of this type of thinking we will live in George Orwell's 1984, but 1000 times worse.

@ZeroSixtyFive The key is saying "sure" and letting them install it. Then install a GPS jammer when they leave.

I typically enjoy/respect the Cato Institute's work, but it is not exactly a 'neutral' or 'objective' institution....

Thank you for posting this, TheAlonyaShow.

@carrerat2 only a blind person can't be a 9/11 truther - the official story defies physics and denies building 7 ever existed/ mattered. 2 planes & 3 buildings? Cell phones on air planes? No cell phone ever worked on an airplane. I worked for T-Mobile and any cell company's tech support can PROVE it. Go try on ANY PLANE in the sky to use a cell: IT WON'T WORK. Never has

@xadam2dudex no need for RFID tag injections, DNA lab-on-a-chip is much more powerful. This will identify you completely & if you do not have a scan you can be stabbed/slashed by a cop to get one. Results in minutes (coming soon: hours right now). Your non-compliance will be your starvation: you will not get any chance to buy/sell anything in any market except by barter in the near future, if you don't overthrow your slave-lords, once this system is 100% in place.

"certainly not possible to track thousands at the same time"

ABSOLUTELY WRONG.

Cell phones are common & each one is an individual tracker.

CellOne produces traffic-maps by tracking individual cell phone VELOCITIES on roads (everywhere actually) to figure out a) is this a roadflow & b) is this road-flow slow enough to be a traffic JAM.

the inside & outside of my person, clothing & car are NOT PUBLIC SPACE. You can't implant / attach shit to my private person or property legally to track me. I reserve the right to EMP-blast or microwave any such equipment placed in my PRIVATE property.

@xadam2dudex Stopping Google from tracking you is nearly unavoidable. However, you can limit your exposure to its tracking by using Scroogle as your search engine, Firefox with its security and privacy add-ons, and by learning how to block tracking cookies with the hosts file. Simply search for "Blocking Unwanted Parasites with a Hosts File" to learn how to use it.

this is the next step in the police state.. they final step will be the RFID tags being injected into everyone starting at birth..no warrantless wiretapping etc or secret warrants..this the neo-con's attempt to control everyone for their own benefit...corporations have been collecting and selling ur personal data for decades.. that should never have been allowed..how can u stop google from tracking u ???

The Justice Dept and lawmakers are constantly chiseling away our rights to privacy: All in the name of 'Homeland Security'. If our own government is so concerned about our security, why do we have porous borders, containment ships, frieght planes and trains that zip around that are not thoroughly inspected? Among others...

No, they aren't about securing America, it's all about removing the expectation of privacy and liberty and replacing that with fear. A fearfull citizenry will always comply.
