Well they would easily find out you weren't a drug dealer Dark Knight Send a noteboard - 25/08/2010 05:25:40 PM
I don't have a problem as much with the police doing this, but I have a huge problem with them being able to do without a search warrant . What if they saw me bringing pots of plants into my basement from a distance and decided I was growing marijuana (without any further investigation) and then put a GPS on my car. That's wrong, imo, but the judge is saying "oh that's totally cool. don't even have to ask us, go ahead and sneak onto her lawn and hook her car up to your tracker."


I mean as long as you never knew you were being tracked and they didn't bother you, is it really a big deal? I guess it comes down to a very complicated question; do you want freedom or peace? (Stolen from the season finale of my favorite show, Supernatural :))

You don't have a reasonable expectation of privacy in your driveway random thoughts - 25/08/2010 04:32:08 PM 1064 Views
the police aren't snapping pictures. LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 04:36:32 PM 996 Views

How is it really that much different then following in car or helicopter? random thoughts - 25/08/2010 04:27:28 PM 1084 Views
it's less that people shouldn't expect privacy behind a fence... LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 04:35:28 PM 984 Views
it's about 4th and 5th amendment, imho moondog - 26/08/2010 03:00:01 AM 1118 Views

most of the old women and non-resisting people deserve to be tasered? *NM* LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 09:07:12 PM 538 Views
most of them are resiting they resisting random thoughts - 25/08/2010 09:13:29 PM 1048 Views
but they aren't resisiting in a way that puts the officer in danger, i mean. LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 09:22:06 PM 1083 Views

yes nothing says "better than arguing" than ELECTROCUTING SOMEONE LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 11:14:55 PM 1097 Views
any physical altercation is dangerous for a police officer random thoughts - 25/08/2010 11:30:07 PM 932 Views
you see plenty of videos where the person wasn't being aggressive, though. LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 11:46:43 PM 1098 Views
Sorry but he needed to be tasered random thoughts - 26/08/2010 02:57:19 AM 1073 Views

And when someone dies because they get electrocuted? Ryan - 26/08/2010 06:52:13 AM 1319 Views
all the more reason to listen to a police officer if they point a taser at you *NM* random thoughts - 26/08/2010 02:43:46 PM 473 Views
I believe Jefferson had a certain famous quote about that... *NM* Floffe - 25/08/2010 07:50:48 PM 541 Views

The law is not always just or correct. Legislators make mistakes and can be corrupt. *NM* Dreaded Anomaly - 25/08/2010 09:06:55 PM 472 Views
This feels like two separate issues to me. Sareitha Sedai - 25/08/2010 05:25:50 PM 1134 Views
even if they are not restricted, driveways are private property LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 05:34:00 PM 1088 Views
I don't think that's true. Sareitha Sedai - 25/08/2010 05:55:26 PM 1017 Views
you don't need permission to walk up someone's driveway until they have posted a no trespassing sign random thoughts - 25/08/2010 06:00:02 PM 1099 Views
yes, and that's a relatively expected activity LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 07:24:54 PM 1128 Views
Should a person without a garage be penalized Ryan - 25/08/2010 05:36:37 PM 1220 Views
They're not being penalized; it works in the other direction. Sareitha Sedai - 25/08/2010 05:59:59 PM 1198 Views
I think... Hezzah - 25/08/2010 09:47:51 PM 1060 Views
Or you could go the other way, and say it's legal for them to put a GPS tracker on your house. Gher - 25/08/2010 10:30:32 PM 931 Views
I wouldn't mind a GPS tracker on my house LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 11:16:10 PM 1000 Views
