"A prosecution witness testified last week that the GPS devices, despite briefly malfunctioning at least four times, accurately tracked Peterson to San Francisco Bay."

I want this to be allowed in so bad..but where does the privacy laws start and end?

If you find the bandwidth the GPS is using, you can stomp it out from right inside the vehicle. I used to have a real problem with a comm radio which would stomp out the whole panel when the microphone was keyed. GPS, LORAN(C), ADF, and VOR/Localizers would just go haywire. When things got busy in the cockpit on occasion I hated a busy radio because it took about fifteen seconds for all the Navigation devices to come back to normal after each transmission.

A set of unshielded plug wires, an ignition coil with an arcing wire, and a modified CB radio with the microphone keyed and taped down would muddle up just about everything including the ATM machines in the neighborhood.

of course I am just reading the article from KTVU. Also, Ted Rowlands, reported he was or is subpena to testify on that interview he did. More to follow.....

"malfunctioning" translated may mean that the GPS temporarily lost "lock." This happens often and when there is an obstructed view of the sky. Most modern GPS' can track 12 satellites at a time, which provides some redundancy. But it is not perfect. This is much less of a problem for airplanes.

The solution: exclude the points that are suspect (pretty obvious from a plot of the track -- large sudden/instantaneous jumps in position). Of course, give a lawyer an inch...
