New Jersey Judge Says Its Ok For Wife Who Suspected Infidelity To Use GPS Tracking On Husband

Suspecting infidelity, a New Jersey woman, hired a private investigator to follow her husband.  The investigator tried, but could not follow the elusive husband.  So they put a GPS tracking device on the husband’s car, which is pretty tough to outrun.  Needless to say, within a very short period of time, the GPS showed the husband’s car sitting in the driveway of a woman who was not his wife.

The husband sued his wife and the private investigator.  The appellate court judge however ruled in favor of the wife and private investigator.

Appellate Judge Joseph Lisa, Jack Sabatino and Carmen Alvarez said Villanova (the husband) had no right to expect privacy because the GPS tracked his movements on public streets.

“There is no direct evidence in this record to establish that during the approximately 40 days the GPS was in the … glove compartment the device captured a movement of plaintiff into a secluded location that was not in public view, and, if so, that such information was passed along by Mrs. Villanova to (Leonard), Lisa wrote.”
