WASHINGTON (PNN) - January 23, 2012 - The Fascist Police States of Amerika (FPSA) Supreme Court ruled on Monday for the first time that thug cops must first obtain a warrant before using a global positioning system (GPS) device to track suspects.
The high court said that GPS tracking amounted to a search, and the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution protects Amerikans against unreasonable searches and seizures.
The ruling comes as a defeat for the illegitimate Obama regime, which sought to have the top FPSA court overturn the ruling of a FPSA appeals court in Washington, which threw out the conviction in August of a Washington nightclub owner arrested for drug dealing.
The FPSA Court of Appeals overturned the 2008 conviction of Antoine Jones, saying pig thug cops violated his constitutional rights by tracking his movements with a satellite navigation system device affixed to his vehicle without a warrant.
The three-judge panel said the use of GPS tracking was a violation of Jones’ constitutional guarantee in the Fourth Amendment against unreasonable search and seizure.
Yasir Afifi, a 20-year-old Arab-Amerikan student, sued the FBI last year for placing a GPS tracking device on his car and then threatening him with charges when he tried to keep it.
The lawsuit, filed by Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), accused Attorney General Eric Holder and FBI Director Robert Mueller of violating Afifi’s constitutional rights.
The lawsuit, obtained by Talking Points Memo, explained that Afifi, an Amerikan-born student at Mission College in Sara Clara, who also works as a salesman, was concerned that the device found on his car might be a pipe bomb.
After posting photos of the device on Reddit.com, FBI agents came to his apartment in a “bizarre mission to retrieve the device” and questioned him, according to the lawsuit.
That case is pending.
