If you have some time, read "Warrantless location Tracking" 83 N.Y.U.L. Rev. 1324 http://www.law.nyu.edu/ecm_dlv2/groups/public/@nyu_law_website__journals__law_review/documents/web_copytext/ecm_pro_059784.pdf http://www.law.nyu.edu/ecm_dlv2/groups/public/@nyu_law_websi...
A common step in police investigations today is to secure a court
order tracking the movements of a suspect or anyone else whose
location the police believe useful. The flip side of this
powerful tool, though, is how revealing and intrusive it is. Few
people would be comfortable being followed by a police officer
all day, even if they did nothing illegal or even interesting.
Justice Brandeis once invoked the "right to be let alone," and
undetectable location tracking pressures the alone part: No one
is "let alone" if the police may, without notice or probable
cause, find out everywhere they go for a day or a month.
It's a good, if disturbing, read.
