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.
I need to get one for my girlfriend's car. Alright, she's not my girlfriend, yet, but she will be once I'm able to track her 24/7.
See, this is exactly why we need fuel cells in our phones...I mean...eh...this is just wrong and illegal...
After a bad breakup with my car insurance company recently, they're doing the same
Analogies don't equal equalities, they are merely somewhat analogous.
Hey, combine this with the little black boxes Progressive Insurance has been pushing, and you too can have your insurance revoked in real-time while driving!
Phoning home each minute with a new fix? Was he with Verizon? I understand that they have a plan where they give 1000 free stalking minutes each month. Yes, the GPS receiver is included.
All I know is it couldn't have happened to a better state. Anybody tracking how many spammers have been killed in the hurricanes?
Stalking is still stalking here. A new way to stalk doesn't always mean that the stalking is unprosecutable. I do have to ask exactly how the cellphone can be affordably rigged to call every minute. That must be expensive. Either that, or it is another detail the media has gotten wrong.
500 dollar reward for tip(s) leading to the arrest of the person(s) who stole my sig.
they went that way ->
Geeks are 100% dedicated to a relationship and will go that extra mile.
Oh, and also: Phear the g33k!
Yeah, it'll be called "Fearer Dot Com"
I better get it off my GF's car soon
What? I thought those were alien landing posts... Kind of like derrigible towers of ancient days.
If so, you're under arrest.

attaching a global positioning system to her car.
He created and attached an entire global positioning system of satellites to her car? Now that's impressive! I wonder how she didn't notice...
"Information was then sent to a Web site that allowed Gabrielyan to monitor the woman's location."
Link?
I never saw fear.com, but I kept wondering whether the lethal website had been created with Microsoft FrontPage.
Where can I find a boyfriend who actually cares where I am?
Yea, now I have an RFID chip from the Swarthmore College CS department. I don't need to wear it, but it allows me to unlock the lab doors. One of my friends complained about it, so I told him he should stick it to his right hand or forehead :-)
Yea, RFID is handy, but I know it will be abused some day. I know I will be scared when RFID replaces credit/debit cards.

No one here actually believes that you are a woman.

That's OK. My gynecologist does.
Stalking is basically a pattern of putting someone in the apprehension of a battery.
Ah, thanks for clearing that one up! Now it makes sense...
Yours Sincerely, Michael.

You must have a lot of courage. Making a gynecologist believe that you are a woman sounds scary.
"Hey, what is that?"
"Dunno. Never saw one on any of my patients before. Remove it."
And every trip you take...
Restraining orders I'll break...
Don't you try and fake...
I AM WATCHING YOU
When did he/she say he/she was a woman? It's a new age, you know.
I wish I was his girlfriend, because some stupid punks stole my car yesterday. Man, I would love to find out who it was and where he is.
Mod parent up: +5 rejected.
since we're on the subject of what people would do in bad breakup situtations with technology...
this is another example you would all enjoy. i just couldn't laugh my head off watching it.

You know, if it were not for this article, I very well might have forgotten to read my ex-girlfriend's email tonight...
Or, perhaps, if there's a prolonged rocking motion...
