Supreme Court Gets One Right 0

Good ruling.

The Supreme Court for the first time ruled on Monday that police use of a GPS device to monitor a suspect’s vehicle was a search and protected by constitutional privacy rights, a test case involving new surveillance technology.

All this means is that the authorities will have to show cause and get warrants.

I’m neither surprised nor offended that the current federal administration was on the other side. One would expect them to side with Justice, Homeland Security, and the Pentagon, not one of whom gives a tinker’s damn about civil liberties.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
