Surprising, unexpected victory for “the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures”: the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the cops do, in fact, need a warrant before they can just stick a GPS logger on your car.
This is pretty far out in “well, duh” territory, but after a couple decades watching law enforcement agencies get everything they ask for in the name of various imaginary wars on various imaginary bogeymen, it’s awfully satisfying to see them take a rebuff for once.
