Court rules that sly GPS tracking isn’t unlawful

[Archived in Entry, GPS]

[TechMunch, tech news munnnched”¦] Earlier this month, the Seventh Circuit of the US Court of Appeals "ruled against a defendant who claimed that the surreptitious placement of a GPS tracking device amounted to an unconstitutional search," essentially giving the coppers the green light to add a GPS module to a suspicious ride sans a warrant. While we're sure the privacy advocates out there are screaming bloody murder, the district judge found that they had had a "reasonable suspicion that the defendant was engaged in criminal activity," and it seems that a well-placed hunch is all they need for lawful placement.

That's because almost every Windows Mobile program I've seen has arrived on my PC as a little executable program that, when launched, runs a standard installer routine and deposits the program on the handheld.
