The reason we have a warrant system is that presumably, sometimes warrants will be denied. It is inherently creepy for anyone to install a GPS tracker in your car without your knowledge. Vague promises that the GPS tracker will never be used should not be trusted in a world where some government employees are "bad apples." Two points. First, even the attachment of the foreign object, even if it is not turned on, is an intrusion. Second, the average person is not really in a good position to verify that the tracking device was not used.

This kind of unified transportation management is unusual in the United States today—but it’s not unheard of. Like most American cities, until 20 years ago San Francisco divided its mobility responsibilities across a Taxi Commission, a Department of Parking and Traffic, and a Municipal Railway (Muni). But in 1999 voters passed Proposition E, which consolidated all those agencies into the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA), with jurisdiction over the city’s streets, curbs, taxis, streetcars, and bike lanes. That makes it easier for SFMTA to allocate scarce street space to the modes that move the most people like BRT, the bus rapid transit system. However, SFMTA’s power has boundaries: the agency does not control bridges and tunnels and it cannot alter the cost of driving by implementing charges like congestion pricing.

I have privacy in public at the moment, in the sense that the government can’t continuously track me with minimal difficulty, as they could if my phone GPS were continuously on and reporting to them.
