The evidence gathered from the GPS and any evidence gathered as a result of that evidence would be thrown out of court. It becomes fruit of the poisoned tree[1]. I think most police agencies would be very careful to not risk having all evidence gathered while the accused car is nearby thrown out.

- Drbble 15y agoIt is more likely that the police would press their luck against a suspect who does not know his rights and cannot afford lawyer. A high socioeconomic class suspect is less interesting to the FBI.
- joering2 15y agomost police work nowadays is mouse and cat play. I can foresee them still using those devices but just not using them as a proof in court. example. you put gps and track some narcotics dealer to a place where they exchange the stuff. you caught everyone. you go in front of the judge, he asks you: how did you know where to find them, do you tracked them by gps [just adding here i know this wont play this way], - no, judge, we just had anonymous tip coming through our hot line. make sense?
