FBI Still Struggling With Supreme Court's GPS Ruling
Found on NPR on Saturday, 24 March 2012
Earlier this year, the Supreme Court said police had overstepped their legal authority by planting a GPS tracker on the car of a suspected drug dealer without getting a search warrant.
But after the ruling, FBI officials tell NPR, agents still had to turn off 250 devices that they couldn't turn back on.
"We have a number of people in the United States whom we could not indict, there is not probable cause to indict them or to arrest them who present a threat of terrorism. ... [They] may be up on the Internet, may have purchased a gun, but have taken no particular steps to take a terrorist act."
They use the Internet, own a gun and have done nothing illegal. Wow. That's the majority in the US.
