GPS global positioning system will help drug prevention

On Tuesday, U.S. state attorneys said the state executive had restrained itself too much and would issue warrants for the following devices installed in the suspects’ cars. Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Peter Smith said judges don’t need contracts to build search devices to observe drug trafficking in Washington.

GPS monitoring
Deputies installed a GPS gadget in a drug suspect’s car, and after months of observation, they’ve organized to confirm his involvement. Guilty, his lawyers insisted, that GPS management without warranties is prohibited.

The prosecutor’s position sparked a heated debate in an appeals court that lasted much longer than organizers had planned. The justices discussed the ethics of such surveillance and how secret information about the movements of people in private vehicles on municipal roads should be. The judges’ first concern was the lack of judicial oversight of surveillance.

Agents argue that simple oversight (without making any commitments) is much more informative than GPS tracking. While personal surveillance can set the number of passengers and the exact number of drivers,  monitoring cannot, but it does require a search warrant to some extent. Only a federal appeals court in the 7th U.S. District has ruled that a GPS surveillance warrant is not required.

The Supreme Court has yet to raise the question of whether GPS surveillance requires a search warrant. But in 1983, he decided that installing a Beeper`a (another tracking device, not based on GPS) would not require a warrant. The court also emphasized that a person traveling on a road used by the public cannot claim to keep his whereabouts secret. This is independent of monitoring and observation techniques in general. But the arrested lawyer was convinced his case fell short and violated his client’s constitutional rights because of GPS monitoring.
