Is someone worried about where there going in government or personal vehicle? This was brought up before. If you don’t own the vehicle and the owner wants to put a tracker on it they should be able to with out telling the driver. In fact there should be tracking devices on all government vehicles without telling the driver. Let’s see what you’re really doing on government time. The same should be allowed for companies, they pay for the operation of the vehicle, and they have the right to know. If you work for them you should have no reason to worry if there is a tracker in the vehicle. It can also help to find out if your spouse is cheating. What don’t you want us to know Sen. Ray Basham? I can account for every minute in my life,and I have nothing to worry about, can you? The motive in this bill, strongley leads to dishonesty. I see no good reason to allow this to pass

In a govt or private vehicle, does not matter. It sure smacks of big brother. KILL THIS BILL.

It only applies to you not the police. or investigators, big brother LOL

Read the words again and think about "or use by state law enforcement." That is a very broad and loose interpretation. Theoretically they would and could put a device on any and all vehicles, public or private. PS, Pull your head out of the sand and skip the sarcasm.
