“While some police officers would like to be able to use GPS trackers on suspects without a warrant, being on the receiving end of surveillance is taken quite differently. Boston cops are concerned about the pending use of trackers on their cars. The devices would monitor the movement of cruisers in real time, and their adoption comes following negotiations between the city and the patrol officers union. GPS tracking would give dispatchers more flexibility in managing units, reducing response times. It will also help enforcing rules on patrol zones the patrolmen operate under. But some officers are concerned with the new level of scrutiny they are going to face.”
