The Virginia Court Of Appeals recently ruled on Tuesday that police who were using a GPS Tracking<\/a> device on a convicted sex offender’s vehicle without a warrant did not violate the suspect’s rights – see the ruling here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This latest ruling is in agreement with a\u00a0Janauary 2010 federal appeals court in California ruling that the tracking of an Oregon man with a GPS tracking device was legal.\u00a0 In 2007, a federal appeals court in Illinois also ruled that warrantless gps tracking did not violate the suspect’s rights.\u00a0 We think that the US Supreme Court will tackle this issue soon.<\/p>\n
