GPS Tracker Helps Cops Locate 10,000 Marijuana Plants

marijuana2-300x225.jpg


Police discovered over 10,000 marijuana plants in both Idaho and Oregon with the help of GPS tracking. Detectives in Ada and Canyon County noticed that there were huge amounts of plastic pipes and water emitters being purchased in cash from local distributors. Suspecting production of an illegal substance, investigators planted GPS trackers on the goods and followed the suspects to their marijuana grow operations where they uncovered 6,000 marijuana plants.
Using similar tactics, police were also able to locate another 4,000 marijuana plants in a remote region of Oregon, apparently connected to this particular grow operation. Authorities arrested three men and charged them in connection to serious marijuana grows in both Idaho and Oregon. Police value the marijuana at millions of dollars.

GPS is dirt cheap now. There are practically off-the-shelf systems available for purchase for applications such as fleet and personnel management, etc. You can even slap a magnet on a baby unit and stick it right on the bottom of a vehicle. One more reason to keep shit on the down-lo - jackers can use GPS too!

GPS Tracking Laws Explained

gavel 300x264 GPS Tracking Laws Explained Since the advent of GPS tracking, many debates over its legality have come into play. Is GPS tracking a violation of the Fourth Amendment, that protects citizens against unreasonable searches and seizures? Does GPS tracking exceed a citizen’s reasonable expectation of privacy? As more court cases rely on GPS tracking evidence as part of the investigation, these questions of legality become more and more relevant. Courts continually set precedents that determine GPS tracking legality to build a comprehensive ruling on the subject. In short, is GPS legal? Lawmakers say, yes, as long as certain protocol is followed.

Note: GPS tracking is subject to State law. Please consult your local State laws before using a GPS tracker.

When is OK to track a vehicle using a covert GPS tracker?

* As long as the car you’re tracking is visible to the public
* As long as you could obtain the same location information by physically trailing the car
* As long as you put the GPS in the car while outside of the curtilage of a person’s property

When is it NOT OK to track a vehicle using a covert GPS tracker?

* When you have to physically hardiare the GPS into the vehicle
* When you have to break into the car, or open the car to install the tracker
* Where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy. i.e. inside of a garage or home

The Case Study: Using GPS Tracking Information as Evidence
Let’s start off this explanation of GPS’ legality with a case study. Michael A. Sveum of Wisconsin was convicted of stalking Jamie Johnson in 1996 and was promptly sent to jail. He stalked Ms. Johnson the entire time he was in jail with the help of his sister, and he continued to stalk her when he was released from jail. When Ms. Johnson reported this to the police, police went to his home, walked up his driveway, and placed a GPS tracker on the outside of his car. After following him for some time, the police retrieved the GPS tracker, and found out that Sveum was indeed stalking Ms. Johnson. Armed with the tracking information, police were able to obtain a search warrant and they eventually gathered enough evidence to re-convict Sveum. Sveum immediately appealed the ruling, stating that the police didn’t have the right to place a GPS tracking on his car to begin with because it directly violated the Fourt Amendment.

What the Court of Appeals concluded was that with this case, there was no direct violation of the Fourth Amendment. The police were completely within their own jurisdiction when they trailed the GPS tracker on the car because the car was visible to the general public. This decision was based on two previous cases: U.S. v. Knotts and U.S. v. Karo. What Knotts concluded was that GPS tracking does not violate the Fourth Amendment if the GPS is put on a car in public view. What Karo concluded was that it is legal to track a car and obtain information that could be obtained by manually trailing the car. It makes no difference whether it’s a GPS device tracking the car in these types of places or the police themselves.

Remember, it’s very important to check local and State laws before using a covert GPS tracker to gather location information since these laws vary by state.

WOW I guess they can do anything and get away with it fucking pigs i swear anyone no how to jam or detect a gps tracker?

Does aluminum foil block GPS transmissions? I know it can keep the CIA from monitoring your thoughts.

Ok. So, from a medical perspective I for one, think it would be extremely beneficial to patients who are suffering from disease should be given this marijuana that was confiscated. When the police seize a car from a murderer. That car ultimately gets auctioned off to the public. Usually for a very discounted rate. So, would'nt it be wonderful if when the police seized pounds and pounds of marijauana, they followed a protocol wherein the seized marijuana is ultimately donated to legal patients, that are typically on fixed incomes. I am sooooooo sick and tired of hearing about people that parse themselves off as "care givers' or "compassionate" and they are nothing more than greedy charlatains interested in one thing and one thing only. Well wouldn't it be special if you could get a guy like this, seize his crop and give it away to legal patients that are literally dying. Sounds like a game plan to me.

Wait wait wait... so it's totally legal for cops to stick a gps device on my car while it's sitting in my driveway and then track me wherever I go? Without a warrant?

WHAT?

This country is insane.
