Maybe you didn't read the story of the California state senator that wanted to attach GPS to every car so mileage could be tracked and taxed. 

Yeah, your Democrats hard at work trying to track your every move.

yep, they have talked about doing this for a couple of years now to raise more revenue, all for our good.

what an absolute invasion of privacy. I can't imagine it would pass successfully through the Supreme Court.

This isn't US Supreme Court.  But it's a the Indiana Supreme Court level.  Interesting case.  I side with the drug dealer on this one.  

Cops put GPS tracker on man’s car, charge him with theft for removing it

The case began in July 2018, when the Warrick County Sheriff's Office got a warrant to attach a GPS tracking device to Derek Heuring's car. Information from a confidential informant had led them to believe that Heuring was using the vehicle to sell meth.

It is his car, his property.

@wopphil and @calscuf, if a warrant is obtained, doesn't a copy of it have to be given to the person affected? i know with a search warrant a copy has to be provided to the person named on it.

and i'm in agreement that simply removing it doesn't amount to theft.

"Wait, was anyone injured? Was there insurance?" - @calscuf probably

How does this even get to the Supreme Court?  

The Supreme Court just heard the State of Georgia's argument for copyrighting the law and charging for access to it

The Supreme Court decides to not hear the case, upholding the lower court's decision that it's unconstitutional to criminalize homeless people for sleeping outdoors.

Maybe if they move their tents to the steps of the court they may decide to hear the case

If you hate California so much, why don't you leave?

If you don't love it, you can leave it.

Unfortunately many of us built lives and careers here before it went to total shit. I imagine many people retiring in the next 10-15 years will bail as soon as they can and take that hefty California retirement elsewhere.
