Technology Vs. Privacy: GPS case brought to the US Supreme Court
Orange County-As technological innovations are used in crime fighting, the question raised by most privacy groups is whether ‘where you draw the line’ when it comes to the use of these devices without invasion of privacy. The United States Supreme Court witnessed for the first time arguments about the case between US versus Antoine Jones. The police enforcers installed a GPS device on Jones, a suspected drug dealer. They tracked Jones using the information generated by the GPS device. In the end, the court ruled out the side of privacy as the evidence presented against the suspects were stronger compared to the privacy issues.
