Police use of GPS tracking in investigations is something of a hotbed issue that calls into question how much privacy people are entitled to. But when it’s used successfully, as it was to arrest a California man who committed identity theft against 300,000 people, that argument becomes much more complex.
According to Cnet’s Declan McCullagh, a Los Angeles man by the name of Richard Delgado who obtained a whole lot of JC Penney credit card numbers, and then went on a shopping spree.
