The Albemarle-based Rutherford Institute and the Virginia ACLU are reacting to a U.S. Supreme Court decision on GPS devices. The high court ruled law enforcement agencies must obtain a warrant before they use a GPS device to track the cars of a U.S. citizen. John Whitehead of the Rutherford Institute is glad the Supreme Court ruled the way it did.
The Virginia ACLU is monitoring the General Assembly on this issue. Lawmakers are considering a bill that would prevent private parties from placing a GPS device on a vehicle. But the measure gives police the power to do so. The ACLU contends that would be unconstitutional. Whitehead was a Tuesday guest on Charlottesville...Right Now with Coy Barefoot.
