I am absolutely shocked. Postal vans, delivery trucks and armoured vehicles that deliver money to banks and stores all have GPS trackers fitted to them, heck even most taxi companies have fitted GPS trackers to their vehicles. What is the big deal? It means that a dispatcher can accurately see how far away a police officer is from a call for help. This could save lives and all the while keep some police honest.
Imagine you call 911, the dispatcher immediately sees your location based on your phone number and then based on what service you need, dispatches the nearest police car to you if there is one nearby as opposed to putting out a call over outdated radio technology.
Sounds like a case of police being misguided as to what the motivation is behind such a move. If delivery companies and mail services use the same technology for efficiency and estimates on arrivals, why shouldn't the police?
