"Your movements on a highway aren't private," he said. "You don't have a reasonable expectation of privacy, which is a Fourth Amendment test."

But that doesn't include just highway movement, does it? It tracks what private establishments one goes to... Heck, you could drive around for 3 days in a parking lot, never entering onto the public roads, and it would record that too.

"Your movements on a highway aren't private"

So the only place you have an expectation of privacy is inside your own home apparently. Exactly how much better of are we than people under the old soviet system?. Oh I guess we still have our houses, thats right.

This is not the type of country in which I want to live!

My thoughts exactly...Anyone with a GPS attached vehicle may drive that vehicle to where they should have a reasonable expectation of privacy...

In this day and age, you also don't (or shouldn't) expect that you'd have an expectation of privacy on the phone or the internet, because in reality, you don't. Very slippery slope.

So much for the observation of William Pitt that was once so often quoted in Fourth Amendment cases:

The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the force of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storms may enter, the rain may enter,—but the King of England cannot enter; all his forces dare not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement!

This is like wire taps. Whatever they record, they can try to use, an attorney would have to get it thrown out. I won't even use EZ Pass, because I believe in personal freedom. OTOH, criminals have the most to fear with any type of "bug". Just as there are illegal wire taps, there will be illegal GPS attachments. I imagine private investigators have had these devices long before the police.
