Police can no longer tail suspects without a search warrant?

I think that it was about attaching devices to our automobiles, not tailing someone.

“The GPS data were essential to the government’s case,...By combining them with Mr. Jones’s cell-phone records, the government was able to paint a picture of Mr. Jones’s movements that made credible the allegation that he was involved in drug trafficking.”

So his conviction should be overturned because it was the use of GPS data that made the allegations credible rather than by, say, “... the largest cocaine seizure in city history..”

OK, if you say so your honors.

When I read of this type decision, the vengeful side of me (God help me) hopes that the ACLU lawyers and those judges one day suffer personally from those drugs being on THEIR streets. But, oh, no. They don’t live in “that” part of town. They think they are safe.
