True. I know about GPS trackers on fleet vehicles
and such, even public safety. I suppose I should
not have used "unique". I just meant it was
"interesting" how they do it here, and how they can
get so much info, as opposed to the "other" and more
common way of just visual surveillance (which
is still done here as well). The control center can just
look on a screen and tell the agents out in the field
where to converge on a suspect. They can respond
from their field office rather than following around
someone all day or night. I'm curious how they attach the
GPS tracker without the suspect knowing, or do they
use the suspects cell phone? Do they just plug in the
number? How does that work? How do they know that
the suspect has a GPS equipped phone? Thankfully,
I don't have one (or at least I don't THINK I do). That's
just damn scary. Are GPS equipped vehicles
registered in some form or fashion with law enforcement
where just by plugging in the license number, a law
enforcement agency could find out you have a GPS
equipped vehicle to track you?
