U.S. Government to Argue for Warrantless GPS Tracking on Suspects
The Obama Administration will present its arguments for warrantless GPS tracking before a federal appeals court today, despite a Supreme Court ruling last year that a warrant is needed to attach a GPS device to a suspected criminal’s vehicle, CNET reports.
According to Wired, the government believes that the high court’s ruling does not account for all scenarios, and in many cases, exemptions exist in which a judge would not need to sign a warrant to monitor someone, including with issues at the border and with school students and probationers.
