1984 revisited - Part I

I have told my students for years: You are the last generation that was able to go where you wanted without your parents knowing where you were. Already Sprint offers a phone that can be traced. Placing similar devices in cars did not seem like a big leap.

Well, in Wisconsin the police are already doing it, and without a search warrant.

I hope that sends a chill down your spine. The police can place a device on your car and monitor where you go without any reason or oversight.

You can call me an ACLU card carrying liberal on this one. That's just scary.

  1. It was the talk of talk radio earlier this week. I wonder if I can just pay the police to put one on Tabytha's truck instead of me buying one myself?
