Should the Government have to provide a search warrant to track your car with GPS?
Lawmakers are now deciding whether or not the government can place GPS tracking devices on vehicles without a warrant in order to monitor individuals. The Supreme Court is looking to review United States vs. Jones; a case that depicts the dangers of prolonged GPS tracking and how it demonstrates a violation of the 4th amendment if it’s done without a warrant.
Today’s GPS phenomena has increasingly enhanced the way we decipher directions, locations, and even how we search for information—as long as we have our cell phones with us, Google always knows our location. With the government wanting to use the same technology to track criminals, suspects, and those who might be endangering others without a warrant to help keep our communities safe; is this really a bad thing? The federal appeals courts in Chicago, St. Louis, and San Francisco have favored the idea of tracking without a warrant.
In a world where we strive to create jobs and sustain viable businesses to help our economy grow. Would this provide opportunities for more jobs and increased business sustainability? GPS tracking companies would have to employ additional personnel and more government jobs would have to be created to monitor and track all the data the government would be collecting to locate these “tracked” individuals.
Many businesses use GPS tracking today to create cost savings for their commercial fleets. Knowing that their drivers are on the correct routes, are getting to locations on-time and not abusing their company vehicle privileges helps a company justify their costs. Can your company justify its costs? Do you know where your vehicles are?
