Government agents can sneak onto your property in the middle of the night, put a GPS device on the bottom of your car and keep track of everywhere you go. This doesn't violate your Fourth Amendment rights, because you do not have any reasonable expectation of privacy in your own driveway - and no reasonable expectation that the government isn't tracking your movements.

First they came for the Christians, and I did not speak out—
because I was not a Christian;
Then they came for the Conservatives, and I did not speak out—
because I was not a Conservative;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me—
and there was no one left to speak out for me.
Keep letting government grow and grow and grow and control and control and control! You think bigger government = more honest government? Never in the history of man has it.... it has always had a horrible ending for law abiding, free citizens!
More clear evidence of the need for a Constitutional Amendment to secure the privacy of Citizens from the gov't (and other tracking orgs).
Have a locked perimeter fence
Post NO TRESPASSING Signs
That keeps them off of the property legally. Your front porch is no longer accessible to the public, and your car is off limits if it is within the locked gated area.
Our private road is on private property behind a locked gate.
A second gate is at the end of the road, and it is a locked gate as well. None of it is accessible to the public.
But they can still get at the car/truck when I go out and park.
Somehow I bet that the public will not have a commensurate right to track the movements of government employees - even those not related to police/security.
BTW, a great movie.
Private property rights are, for the moment, still in existence. Big Brother wants to track me? He'll need to get past my dogs and guns first.
With every day my instinct to turn off all traceable machines and hunker down in the woods gets stronger and stronger.
No need to even do that if you have a Government Motors car with onstar. All it takes is a subpoena to GM.
