The police have no more right to your location via phone GPS than I do.

Surprising isn't it? But it is true. Police have no more right to search anyone than any other private citizen. The police are no more able to search someones private records or house or person or vehicle than you or I can.

But you say, they need to search people to find criminals. That is absolutely right.

So how do they get the ability to search someone? With evidence of probable cause they are able to goto a judge and request that judge to grant them the ability to search a specific place for a evidence of a specific crime.

Nothing more. Nothing less.

They are not constitutionally allowed to do search you without evidence of a crime. Period. And it doesn't matter where you are standing or if you are a citizen or not.

The fact that our rights are so brazenly trampled at the border (which now is 100 miles wide) or with our phone and Internet records is just more and more evidence of how far we have descended towards a police state.

It is sad and it is pathetic. And most Americans are complete sheep about it.
