The GPS in a phone being on will show up, though Floffe Send a noteboard - 01/09/2010 12:36:13 PM
anyone with GPS on their mobile can be tracked as long as they don't remove the SIM card and they are carrying it, obviously. Or with GPS in their car. Or boat. The chips the government agent sticks under your bumper just work better.

In significantly lowered battery life. And GPSes in cars/boats are generally only receivers, as transmitters would a) require another antenna and b) draw more battery and use more chips and hence be more expensive.

You don't have a reasonable expectation of privacy in your driveway random thoughts - 25/08/2010 04:32:08 PM 1131 Views
the police aren't snapping pictures. LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 04:36:32 PM 1072 Views

How is it really that much different then following in car or helicopter? random thoughts - 25/08/2010 04:27:28 PM 1151 Views
it's less that people shouldn't expect privacy behind a fence... LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 04:35:28 PM 1056 Views
it's about 4th and 5th amendment, imho moondog - 26/08/2010 03:00:01 AM 1192 Views

When it comes to stuff like this I always same the same thing Dark Knight - 25/08/2010 05:09:01 PM 1157 Views
true. but what if they only think you're breaking the law? LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 05:19:52 PM 1035 Views
Well they would easily find out you weren't a drug dealer Dark Knight - 25/08/2010 05:25:40 PM 1152 Views

most of those people deserved to be tasered *NM* random thoughts - 25/08/2010 05:45:29 PM 522 Views
most of the old women and non-resisting people deserve to be tasered? *NM* LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 09:07:12 PM 579 Views
most of them are resiting they resisting random thoughts - 25/08/2010 09:13:29 PM 1115 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 1157 Views

yes nothing says "better than arguing" than ELECTROCUTING SOMEONE LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 11:14:55 PM 1180 Views
any physical altercation is dangerous for a police officer random thoughts - 25/08/2010 11:30:07 PM 1024 Views
you see plenty of videos where the person wasn't being aggressive, though. LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 11:46:43 PM 1177 Views
Sorry but he needed to be tasered random thoughts - 26/08/2010 02:57:19 AM 1149 Views

And when someone dies because they get electrocuted? Ryan - 26/08/2010 06:52:13 AM 1389 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 523 Views
I believe Jefferson had a certain famous quote about that... *NM* Floffe - 25/08/2010 07:50:48 PM 579 Views
It was Franklin. Ghavrel - 25/08/2010 10:12:54 PM 1192 Views
i do love that quote LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 11:17:11 PM 1076 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 516 Views
This feels like two separate issues to me. Sareitha Sedai - 25/08/2010 05:25:50 PM 1209 Views
even if they are not restricted, driveways are private property LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 05:34:00 PM 1167 Views
I don't think that's true. Sareitha Sedai - 25/08/2010 05:55:26 PM 1088 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 1178 Views
yes, and that's a relatively expected activity LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 07:24:54 PM 1221 Views
Should a person without a garage be penalized Ryan - 25/08/2010 05:36:37 PM 1290 Views
They're not being penalized; it works in the other direction. Sareitha Sedai - 25/08/2010 05:59:59 PM 1276 Views
I think... Hezzah - 25/08/2010 09:47:51 PM 1142 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 1007 Views
I wouldn't mind a GPS tracker on my house LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 11:16:10 PM 1068 Views
