> I don’t believe any warrant is required for police to follow someone, so they wouldn’t even need the tracker!

Interesting how you reframe that, because the police would absolutely need a warrant to put a GPS tracker in your car.

This kinda proves everyone's point about this sort of thing, an officer following you is clearly different from the omnipresent surveillance dragnet enabled by Flock cameras.

Yeah legally there might be a difference, not my area. The question was whether I’d be fine with a GPS tracker and the answer is I have opted in already with numerous GPS tracking devices, both in my car and on my person. I don’t believe for one second that someone against cameras would be okay with a personal police shadow everywhere even if the Supreme Court has okayed that.
