Are all of you involved in organized criminal activity?
Are you all felons?
Why in the **** are you guys so ****ing concerned with the government monitoring you? What makes think the government would WANT to monitor you?
Can anyone give me one legitimate reason why the government would want to monitor them?
There is no legitimate reason to monitor me. That is why I get suspicious when the police ask for the power to monitor me without needing a legitimate reason. If you actually have a good reason to GPS track someone, why shouldn't you get a warrant? If you have nothing to hide, you shouldn't fear accountability.
Who says you are being monitored? Why are you making this about you?
Which police department asked for the power to monitor you?
Wow talk about paranoia.

Odds are that most people here aren't part of organized crime (of course, I could be wrong), so the fear is that the logic for using gps, while initially used to fight organized crime, could be perverted to fight "personal" (or victimless) crimes as well (see war on drugs).
Dismissive much?
Irrelevant, privacy and rights extends to everybody, criminals and law abiding alike.
Because there are laws that protect privacy, that's why.
How would WE know the exact WHY? They are doing it quite often, better ask THEM why they want to support snooping on the law abiding without cause.

If this makes it the supreme court, it will be about me as well as every other American citizen. Without legal protections, there is nothing stopping the police from monitoring me. Also, you didn't answer my question. Why should anyone but dirty cops fear getting a warrant? They shouldn't be worried unless they have something to hide, right?
Is it crime???
That is all I need to know.
That's why you do what you do. Not trying to be snarky but, there it is. If you exercised too much leeway you wouldn't be relied upon to carry out your duties. But the other side of the equation is that many people feel there are crimes that it's a little rediculous to persue with equal vigor, and that the ability to crack down on all levels of crime equally and effectively represents a frightening level of power on the government's part.
Its the 9th Circus. Its gonna make it to the surpreme court and its going to get overturned.
I would believe one would be required to get a warrant, in fact we already do that here (yes we've used GPS tracking on specific suspects). We also get warrants for it.
So you disagree with the judges ruling? Then why the "if you have nothing to hide" speech?
I believe you could actually be charged with speeding on a bicycle ( you wont get points on your license though
Have you ever seen a bicycle charged with speeding? I haven't...
I've clocked a group of bicyclists traveling down the road at 20mph on radar....
.... in a 45mph zone..
Are you saying they were going 20 in a 45 or that they were going 20 over in a 45 i.e. 65 mph? That would be horrifically fast.
Nah, just 20mph.
Wouldn't you just love to get one going a little over though? More for comedic value than anything.Nah, just 20mph.
This is what big brother looks like when people dont keep their government in check.

Yeah. I don't think I'd write them a ticket, I just think it would be kinda funny.
Unless of course, the guy didn't find it funny himself and decided to be a jerk. Then I'd have to actually write him a ticket...

Nah, just 20mph.
Do you have a point with this? That is not particularly fast. I average more than that over the course of a 100km race and can eaily reach 28-30mph on rolling hills in a race. I nearly average 20mph over the course of a 180km race course after swimming...
Not particularly impressed with that speed.
