Ironic: The FBI’s having trouble finding and collecting its GPS devices

Tags: fbi fbi gps federal bureau of investigation global positioning systems gps privacy supreme court trespassing

  • 3,000 invasive GPS devices turned off by the FBI source

» There’s one particularly amazing line in this story: ”In some cases, he said, the FBI sought court orders to obtain permission to turn the devices on briefly — only in order to locate and retrieve them.” If you remember, the FBI had to stop using tracking devices as the result of a Supreme Court ruling that ruled that the practice was illegal without a warrant. So everyone, have a small chuckle at the fact that FBI can’t find some of its GPS devices.
