The Government’s New Right to Track Your Every Move With GPS

Government agents can sneak onto your property in the middle of the night, put a GPS device on the bottom of your car and keep track of everywhere you go. This doesn’t violate your Fourth Amendment rights, because you do not have any reasonable expectation of privacy in your own driveway – and no reasonable expectation that the government isn’t tracking your movements.

Do I not have a reasonable expectation of privacy in my car or on my person? If I send my clothes out for dry cleaning, can the government put tracking devices in the hem of my pants? If I’m parked in a public parking lot can they put one on my car? I would have thought that I would have privacy in, on, or around any of my private property (land, house, car, boat, etc). Wow… just, wow.
