Oh 100% it's better than high speed chases.

And given the history of basically every police force throughout the United States, guaranteed to be misused and abused as well.

Yeah, police are already abusing GPS trackers. The thing is that banning technology isn't going to fix that, it's a government that will hold police accountable for their crimes.

I don't believe anyone said anything about banning anything.
