| Will a strong Magnet still defeat GPS? |

keep in mind most of the good jammers draw a lot of power, so if you turn your car off and leave the jammer on you will probably be looking at a dead battery. If you turn the jammer off when you turn the car off, then the GPS transmitter will function normally. So in reality, you only have jamming capability while you are actually driving.
I have not seen any of the brand new devices, but thats been my experience with gps jammers in the past. |

That tracker doesn't even closely resemble what is currently being used. |

That tracker doesn't even closely resemble what is currently being used.  Nothing to see here. Move along.

If you suspect your are being tracked, then search your vehicle daily for devices. When you find one, hire a lawyer. You're correct about searching your vehicle but you will want to remove it, drive to a truck stop and stick it on a big rig heading out west

Service manager showed it to him after bringing his car in for an oil change. It didn't end up on a truck headed west, but he put it on a rental car. Pretty humorous. |

Pretty humorous. Help me understand this - You are law enforcement officer? You a trying to build a case against a suspected bad guy, so you attach a GPS device to his vehicle to monitor his movements? Really? Does this require a warrant or any kind of approval or can you just attached the GPS device to the vehicle? If the above is true, I am honestly shocked and amazed!

Accountant Yup. Court Order. No different than a search warrant. There is still a lot of discussion amongst legal folks (and various case law supporting both sides) about warrants, but its the practice of my particular office (and my personal belief) that a warrant should be procured prior to the installation of any tracking device. I dont work "homeland security" cases where the line of probable cause to track the movements (or secure search warrants) against citizens for crimes that have not yet been committed is pretty grey. I work dope cases and probable cause is usually abundantly clear to even the most discerning judges. |

If the government is tracking you, it isn't using GPS. There are many other ways to track someone other than a GPS sensor. You can use radioactive signatures on a magnet on your vehicle, cell phone triangulation, homing beacons, etc. I know people hate to think about it, but almost every one of us carries a GPS sensor everywhere we go inside our phones. |

And I have seen that be the one clue that broke open a murder case in Cobb. The guys said they were out of town, the phone company said they were around the murder scene. The investigators pushed on one of the guys and he flipped on the others. |
