Lawmaker Proposes Ban On Vehicle Tracking
September 23, 2013
Sen. Jeff Brandes, R-St. Petersburg, wants to make it illegal to put tracking devices on vehicles without the owners’ consent. Brandes filed a bill last last week that would expand the definition of stalking in Florida law to include the prohibition against installing devices that can record, store and transmit the locations of vehicles.
Violating the prohibition would result in a second degree misdemeanor.
The proposal would also require law enforcement to get search warrants to place tracking devices on people’s vehicles.

Nearly all new vehicles have GPS tracking capabilities through OnStar, BlueLink, navigation systems, etc..
I’ll bet he has a smartphone that’s tracking him everywhere too..
Wonder what got him worried?
Not sure existing law wouldn’t cover it.
If so, don’t need another law, just enforcement of existing law.
He’s not just trying to outlaw the NSA, is he?
