Man Stalks Ex-girlfriend With GPS

grouchomarxist writes "According to this article at CNN: Police arrested a man they said tracked his ex-girlfriend's whereabouts by attaching a global positioning system to her car. Police said Gabrielyan attached a cellular phone to the woman's car on August 16 with a motion switch that turned on when the car moved, transmitting a signal each minute to a satellite. Information was then sent to a Web site that allowed Gabrielyan to monitor the woman's location." A ruling last year stated that police need a warrant to track individuals in a similar fashion.

It actually sounds like a neat project, just a sketchy application. I wonder if its legal to attach one to, say, your child's car.

If you think that your child isn't mature enough to be alone you shouldn't let him drive a car.
