vehicle via GPS, in order to improve the chances of recovery/arrest.

I understand where you are coming from, but so much
lately has been hoisted upon us in the name of "just another tool for law

that they believe they have. Remember, this is the same state that
doesn't allow you to pump your own gas, or go to a polling place to
vote.
