This feels like two separate issues to me. Sareitha Sedai Send a noteboard - 25/08/2010 05:25:50 PM
This cannot be allowed to contine...



Whether the government putting the GPS tracker on somebody's vehicle is okay or not, and where it is or isn't acceptable for them to do that.

If we accept that it's okay for the government to put a GPS tracker on somebody's vehicle, that should be able to happen wherever it can be done without breaking some other law. I assume that somebody walking onto an unrestricted driveway is not breaking any other law in doing so. Presumably climbing over a locked fence or entering an unlocked garage would be violating tresspassing laws, but this seems potentially murkier. Breaking into a locked garage is right out ;)

How is it really that much different then following in car or helicopter? - 25/08/2010 04:27:28 PM 1086 Views
it's less that people shouldn't expect privacy behind a fence... - 25/08/2010 04:35:28 PM 986 Views

most of them are resiting they resisting - 25/08/2010 09:13:29 PM 1051 Views

but effective - 25/08/2010 09:55:30 PM 954 Views
yes nothing says "better than arguing" than ELECTROCUTING SOMEONE - 25/08/2010 11:14:55 PM 1099 Views
any physical altercation is dangerous for a police officer - 25/08/2010 11:30:07 PM 934 Views
you see plenty of videos where the person wasn't being aggressive, though. - 25/08/2010 11:46:43 PM 1101 Views

even if they are not restricted, driveways are private property - 25/08/2010 05:34:00 PM 1089 Views
I don't think that's true. - 25/08/2010 05:55:26 PM 1019 Views
you don't need permission to walk up someone's driveway until they have posted a no trespassing sign - 25/08/2010 06:00:02 PM 1101 Views
yes, and that's a relatively expected activity - 25/08/2010 07:24:54 PM 1132 Views
Should a person without a garage be penalized - 25/08/2010 05:36:37 PM 1223 Views
They're not being penalized; it works in the other direction. - 25/08/2010 05:59:59 PM 1202 Views
I think... - 25/08/2010 09:47:51 PM 1062 Views
Or you could go the other way, and say it's legal for them to put a GPS tracker on your house. - 25/08/2010 10:30:32 PM 933 Views
I wouldn't mind a GPS tracker on my house - 25/08/2010 11:16:10 PM 1002 Views
