When splitting hairs isn't: warrant not necessarily required for tracking GPS device

In an earlier blog post, I stated that the Supreme Court held that a warrant is required to put a GPS device on someone's car.  I was wrong.  Turns out, however, I was in the company of many people talking about the decision.

Supreme Court confirms we are still living in the United States: search warrant required to stick a GPS device on someone's car and follow it in and out of public and private places

Here's an idea: stick a GPS on someone's car and track their every movement.

And how about this one: do this without getting a warrant.

That's what the police did to track the movement of drug trafficker Antoine Jones, and their shortcut around the United States constitution is probably going to cost them a conviction.
