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 ;)

You don't have a reasonable expectation of privacy in your driveway random thoughts - 25/08/2010 04:32:08 PM 1051 Views
the police aren't snapping pictures. LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 04:36:32 PM 978 Views
oddly enough you can dance naked in front of the window random thoughts - 25/08/2010 05:01:33 PM 1061 Views
yah, i know there are instances like that LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 05:15:59 PM 1024 Views
How is it really that much different then following in car or helicopter? random thoughts - 25/08/2010 04:27:28 PM 1069 Views
it's less that people shouldn't expect privacy behind a fence... LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 04:35:28 PM 968 Views
it's about 4th and 5th amendment, imho moondog - 26/08/2010 03:00:01 AM 1104 Views
and how is it different from police hiding a GPS tracker in my coat? Or is that OK too? *NM* Aeryn - 26/08/2010 05:12:30 AM 492 Views

^ that's what i was trying to say LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 05:16:35 PM 1186 Views
When it comes to stuff like this I always same the same thing Dark Knight - 25/08/2010 05:09:01 PM 1078 Views
true. but what if they only think you're breaking the law? LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 05:19:52 PM 960 Views
Well they would easily find out you weren't a drug dealer Dark Knight - 25/08/2010 05:25:40 PM 1062 Views
wait, now i'm guilty until proven innocent? LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 05:32:42 PM 1096 Views
most of those people deserved to be tasered *NM* random thoughts - 25/08/2010 05:45:29 PM 477 Views
most of the old women and non-resisting people deserve to be tasered? *NM* LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 09:07:12 PM 522 Views
most of them are resiting they resisting random thoughts - 25/08/2010 09:13:29 PM 1023 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 1072 Views
but effective random thoughts - 25/08/2010 09:55:30 PM 934 Views
yes nothing says "better than arguing" than ELECTROCUTING SOMEONE LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 11:14:55 PM 1087 Views
any physical altercation is dangerous for a police officer random thoughts - 25/08/2010 11:30:07 PM 917 Views
you see plenty of videos where the person wasn't being aggressive, though. LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 11:46:43 PM 1083 Views
Sorry but he needed to be tasered random thoughts - 26/08/2010 02:57:19 AM 1060 Views
well we're getting a little off topic here and going to a sidebar soon.. LadyLorraine - 26/08/2010 03:36:43 AM 985 Views
And when someone dies because they get electrocuted? Ryan - 26/08/2010 06:52:13 AM 1295 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 468 Views
I believe Jefferson had a certain famous quote about that... *NM* Floffe - 25/08/2010 07:50:48 PM 531 Views
It was Franklin. Ghavrel - 25/08/2010 10:12:54 PM 1094 Views
i do love that quote LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 11:17:11 PM 981 Views
They did. He says it in Congress and, if I recall correctly, Dickinson gets annoyed. Ghavrel - 25/08/2010 11:37:41 PM 905 Views
it's a lovely musical LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 11:47:29 PM 918 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 467 Views
This feels like two separate issues to me. Sareitha Sedai - 25/08/2010 05:25:50 PM 1120 Views
even if they are not restricted, driveways are private property LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 05:34:00 PM 1069 Views
I don't think that's true. Sareitha Sedai - 25/08/2010 05:55:26 PM 1005 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 1071 Views
yes, and that's a relatively expected activity LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 07:24:54 PM 1115 Views
Should a person without a garage be penalized Ryan - 25/08/2010 05:36:37 PM 1202 Views
They're not being penalized; it works in the other direction. Sareitha Sedai - 25/08/2010 05:59:59 PM 1178 Views
I think... Hezzah - 25/08/2010 09:47:51 PM 1041 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 920 Views
I wouldn't mind a GPS tracker on my house LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 11:16:10 PM 983 Views
They need a fucking warrant. End of story. Fuckers *NM* Dan - 26/08/2010 12:13:04 AM 490 Views
ummmm.... damookster - 26/08/2010 03:35:30 AM 1011 Views
I do believe that would require a warrant though *NM* random thoughts - 26/08/2010 04:57:36 AM 409 Views
The GPS in a phone being on will show up, though Floffe - 01/09/2010 12:36:13 PM 939 Views
I have 3 words for you... Bramhodoulos - 27/08/2010 01:59:13 PM 1237 Views
