Supreme Court Gets It Right Regarding GPS Tracking Case

The Supreme Court has ruled that the government violated the Constitution when FBI agents attached a GPS tracking device to a suspect's car and monitored his movements for over a month without a warrant. So at least on this issue, the Constitution held up.You can read the details of the full story here (I'm not going to recap the whole thing), but in a nutshell, this invasion of privacy was in violation of the 4th Amendment.

Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for the majority, said that as conceived in the 18th century, the Fourth Amendment's protection of "persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures" would extend to private property such as an automobile.

Damn right. This ruling, good as it may be, still leaves a lot on the table when it comes to invasive measures for the government and law enforcement to purge our right to privacy. One of the most important and pressing issues remains the new use of technology known as Terahertz Imaging Detection, which can scan people from up to 16 feet away just like an x-ray or the scanners at your local TSA gestapo port. The NYC Police Dept is already looking to deploy vans that will scan EVERYONE walking down the street, without warrant or knowledge by the scanees, as they illegally search you for weapons.I'd like to quote Gene Wilder in "Willy Wonka," in reaction to this ruling: "so shines a good deed in a weary world."It's a step in the right direction.
