how would physically installing a GPS on my car be any different than installing a 'bug' in my house, or putting a tap on my phone line ???
i thought there was supposed to be specific items to be searched/seized ??? wouldnt common sencse demand a bit of certainty regarding physically altering my vehicle ???

I not only want to see this kind of surveillance be ruled illegal I want to see a bill that makes even private GPS tracking illegal without written customer permission.
I hate my cell phone. For the most part, it stays off.

By tracking the every move of all citizens, they are essentially saying "you are all criminals, that big brother must keep an eye on."
What would be more reasonable would perhaps to track sex offenders (with knowledge but without consent), parolees (as a documented and agreed to parole term), etc.

Add the "National Animal Identification System" and some of the credit card transaction reporting provisions Chris Dodd was pitching and what you've got is a system capable of tracking your every move and transaction.
I am opposed to creating such an infrastructure. It's too much power.
