Police use GPS as a Crime Tool

I'm a law abiding citizen 99 percent of the time... with a few "Shouldn't have gone through that yellow light" thrown in there. So why wouldn't I want police officers and detectives to use what's available to make this world we live in any safer? That's right I don't care, I want them to use the technology.

Recently in Pittsburgh, there's been controversy over use of GPS technology to track locations of criminals, suspects, or Megan Law violators. This technology has been of great use to law enforcement officers in the area. It is often much more effect and more efficient than sending out an officer to pursue the suspect. As in big cities and facing a large variety of underturmined escape routes if the suspect recognizes a tail behind him.

The case is being brought up to the supreme court for undermined specifics explained in Pennsylvania Law.
