But I have a problem with this tactic being used against muslims who have the unfortunate luck of knowing someone the government doesnt like. And there was a case where the son of a cleric the US doesnt like who was being tracked with a gps under his car that he pulled out when he saw it. And sure you can say well they have to watch him cuz you never know who is and isnt a terrorist but that goes for everyone then. We should all be required to have gps on our cars and even our bodies because who knows, maybe i could rob a persons house tomorrow and you could be planning a rape. and My neighbor could be planning on burning down a mosque/church/synagogue.
Cops have followed suspects for years and that is considered legal. This is just a more high tech way of doing it. Sorry but your car on a public road is not someplace you should have an expectation of privacy. If it is illegal to have sex someplace you should assume you don't have privacy.
The argument that this guts the 4th amendment is pure hyperbole. There have always been very few places where you could expect priviacy. The word private is where the key here, if you are in public it isn't private.
