>>>>Government agents can sneak onto your property in the middle of the night, put a GPS device on the bottom of your car and keep track of everywhere you go. This doesn't violate your Fourth Amendment rights, because you do not have any reasonable expectation of privacy in your own driveway - and no reasonable expectation that the government isn't tracking your movements.

>>>Reminds me of a friend of mine that found one of these devices on his car about 10 years ago. (Only reason he found it was because he'd taken a small body-part of the car off to paint it and there it was). Anyway he carefully plucked it from his car - got some double-sided tape, and stuck the thing on the bottom of a Greyhound bus that was going 1000's of miles away..hahahaha

>>Did he check to see if an extra ignition key was inside it?

>I know the little magnetic key-box thingy you're talking about - and no it wasn't one of those it was for sure a tracking device. My friend was in the middle of a very nasty divorce at the time and figured it was the P.I. that had been hired to try to follow him around. Wonder how far he followed the bus before he realized it was a bus..hehehe

Then, a very nifty move on his part :)
I ain't skeert of nuttin eh?
