Some drivers still use the technology to, say, get to and from work or school, in order to avoid the headache of a traffic jam or closed roadways. The apps use real-time traf ..read more

When the government places a location monitor on you or your stuff, it could be violating the Fourth Amendment. The Supreme Court clarified and affirmed that law on Monday, when it ruled on Torrey Dale Grady v. North Carolina, before sending the case back to that state’s high court. The Court’s short but unanimous opinion helps make sense of how the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable search and seizure, interacts with the expanding technological powers of the U.S. government. “It doesn’t matter what the context is, and it doesn’t matter whether it’s a car or a person.

If true, it is possible that Fusion GPS’s ongoing anti-Trump investigations have not only been funded by the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton campaign, but also by currency trader Soros. He recently pledged $18 billion to a cast of liberal groups and causes. The Soros connection was asserted by Oleg Deripaska, a Russian aluminum magna ..read more

President Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort is getting a shiny new accessory. Manafort will be outfitted with a second GPS monitoring bracelet, BuzzFeed News reports, after he pleaded not guilty Thursday to tax and fraud charges in Virginia federal court.

Moore Protecting GPS From Spoofers Is Critical to the Future of Navigation We’ve all been there.
