Fresno police use GPS tracking to battle drunk drivers January 6, 2007
Posted by Rich in : GPS tracking and privacy,GPS tracking and public safety , trackbackFresno, California police are using GPS to battle drunk drivers:
…they are covertly planting Global Positioning System devices on the cars of convicted drunken drivers to monitor whether they are going to bars or liquor stores in violation of their probation or parole.
They are using other high-tech equipment as well, including night-vision goggles. Police say that the surreptitious placement of GPS tracking devices is permitted under parole and probation terms, but the ACLU says they are over reaching.
The GPS tracking is actually part of an aggressive program started four years ago that includes police watching and waiting outside bars and weeknight DUI checkpoints.
