<http://www.wired.com/threatlevel> Busted! Two New Fed GPS Trackers Found on SUV * By Kim Zetter <http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/author/kimzetter/> Email Author <mailto:kzetter@wired.com> * <http://www.twitter.com/KimZetter> * November 8, 2011 | * 5:30 am | * Categories: Surveillance <http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/category/surveillance/> As the Supreme Court gets ready to hear oral arguments in a case Tuesday that could determine if authorities can track U.S. citizens with GPS vehicle trackers without a warrant, a young man in California has come forward to Wired to reveal that he found not one but two different devices on his vehicle recently.

After contacting Wired and allowing a photographer to snap pictures of the device, it was swapped out and replaced with a second tracking device. A witness also reported seeing a strange man looking beneath the vehicle of the young man's girlfriend while her car was parked at work, suggesting that a tracking device may have been retrieved from her car. Then things got really weird when police showed up during a Wired interview with the man.
