Secret GPS Tracking Now Legal In Massachusetts

dr. fuzz writes "The Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts has ruled in favor of John Law tracking you with secret GPS devices in Massachusetts provided a warrant is obtained. You've been warned. To the dissenters' credit, Justice Ralph Gants is quoted with 'Our constitutional analysis should focus on the privacy interest at risk from contemporaneous GPS monitoring, not simply the property interest.'"

    In the meanwhile, *without Court Orders*, lots of wiretapping, internet snooping and all manner of illegal privacy-raping activity has been happing for years and continues to happen using our Federal tax dollars, with almost no oversight or review.

    The panopticon is not only here, it's taxpayer-funded and unaccountable to the public.
