Report: Checks needed on police GPS tracking

Subject: Report: Checks needed on police GPS tracking Wed Sep 21, 2011 1:23 am

A bipartisan group that includes former leaders of the FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration on Wednesday called for limits on law enforcement's use of GPS and other powerful technologies to track the movements of suspects.

Police should be required to obtain a search warrant for any GPS surveillance that lasts more than 24 hours, said a new report from the Constitution Project, a Washington think tank. And the group says a warrant always should be needed when authorities have to install a tracking device on a vehicle.

A member of the group, Patricia Wald, the former chief judge on the federal appeals court in Washington, said the debate over GPS tracking is "one instance of the much broader problem of regulating new technology."
