Beware cops attaching GPS devices to your car and elsewhere

Sep 10, 2010 Beware cops attaching GPS devices to your car and elsewhere

Last Tuesday, the Virginia Court of Appeals found no Fourth Amendment violation where police placed a GPS device to a criminal suspect’s vehicle. Foltz v. Virginia, ___ Va. App. ___ (Sept. 7, 2010). 

Hopefully Virginia’s Supreme Court will accept the case for review, and reverse the Virginia Court of Appeals.

ADDENDUM: On September 23, 2010, the Virginia Court of Appeals granted en banc review of Foltz. and stayed the mandate of the Foltz panel in the interim
