Thread: GPS is unconstitutional but,

License-plate cameras track millions of Americans - The Washington Post

The spread of cheap, powerful cameras capable of reading license plates has allowed police to build databases on the movements of millions of Americans over months or even years, according to an American Civil Liberties Union report released Wednesday.

Kind of a round about way of Attaching a GPS tracking device to your Car. Is any technology developed to track your movements with out a warrant a Violation of your Civil Rights?
Lets for the sake of Argument, assume everyone is a law abiding citizen.

I guess that would depend on what the "contract" says when you either register your vehicle, or obtain a driver's license if we want to get technical. I say pretty shitty though.

Not technically on point but still relevant - and amusing to me personally.

Colorado town to consider drone hunting license, bounty

Let's all get our guns out and go drone hunting!! We should take their lead, why stop at drones - traffic cameras should be fair game as well - I'd pay $25 for a license to take out a traffic camera. Of course we would likely be subjecting ourselves to up to 10 years in the Federal penitentiary and $250,000 in fines, something both the article and the town seem to ignore.

We shot lawyers at our traffic cams up here in Minnesota, since they only recorded the plate numbers, instead of the person driving. None of them run anymore, and they have become a political hand grenade because of all of the money spent on the ones that sit idle.

I have no problem with this. You are operating a motor vehicle on public roads. Why should you expect privacy?

GPS tracker attached to the car should require a warrant, this should not.

Also speed cameras are way better than cops writing tickets. You just have to be smart about it. Please see the Germans for an example.

I have a big issue with red light cameras especially when they have been caught over and over shortening the yellow light to get the tickets.

In your car yes. But anyone can see where you drive it from the outside. No one is saying the car can be searched without the warrant.
