Just from a legal standpoint, if someone deliberately attaches a $300 device to my vehicle, does it become my property? Should I tape a nice 'thank you' note to wherever they attached it?

Various agencies have already been tracking people by their cell phone use, so the GPS thing is just a refinement on what law enforcement has already been doing.

Now DHS wants to build a better mousetrap in the form of a "Federated Information Sharing System." That should be fun. What 4th Amendment?

Quote:

In an effort to enhance DHS’ information sharing capabilities, the department is looking to construct an integrated database known as the “Federated Information Sharing System,” a move which has raised concerns from the American Civil Liberties Union.

Currently data is restricted to individual systems within various DHS components which were created to fulfill specific mission requirements.
