>>How do you figure? The lower level appeals court also found it unconstitutional, SCOTUS affirmed that decision. It wasn’t the drug dealer taking this case there, it was prosecutors hoping to have the lower court ruling overturned. So it would be more correct to say they “took it all the way to SCOTUS and the correct decision survived”.
My point was that it never should have even been an issue; of course it is unconstitutional - anyone with half a brain could tell that; but yet we still have a govt (prosecutors in this case), that are hell-bent on increasing the unlimited power of the police state. The police never should have even considered doing this (warrant-less GPS tracking), and it shouldn’t have had to been appealed all the way to the SC to get a final ruling.
Well, we’re definitely in agreement about that.
