Justices Say GPS Tracker Violated Privacy Rights

http://j.mp/zrCkAk  (New York Times)

   "Though the ruling was limited to physical intrusions, the opinions in
    the case collectively suggested that a majority of the justices are
    prepared to apply broad Fourth Amendment privacy principles unrelated
    to such intrusions to an array of modern technologies, including video
    surveillance in public places, automatic toll collection systems on
    highways, devices that allow motorists to signal for roadside
    assistance and records kept by online merchants."
