Invasion of privacy has always been an issue when it comes to using GPS tracking. Though some may protest that any such use is a violation of the Fourth Amendment, most people feel comfortable using GPS to track sex offenders, gang members, or parolees in the interest of public safety.

But should we draw the line at using these high-tech location devices to keep tabs on our teenagers or our spouses?

To substantiate their cases, those going through a divorce may feel the need to present evidence of their spouse’s adultery in order to determine fault; and when other investigative options have failed to turn up the needed documentation, GPS tracking may be the only alternative left.

One woman in New Jersey found herself in just such a situation. After several weeks of tracking her spouse with GPS, the private investigator this woman hired was able to prove that her spouse was seeing someone else.

The man tried to sue his wife and the investigator, claiming that his Fourth-Amendment rights had been violated. However, on July 7, 2011, a New Jersey court ruled that using a GPS tracking system to determine the whereabouts of a cheating spouse is not an invasion of privacy.

The two decisive factors in the case included the joint ownership of the vehicle being tracked, and the public nature of the reported locations. As joint owner, the wife had the right to place a tracking device in her own vehicle; and since only records of public streets and public locations were used, the man could not claim invasion of privacy.

Although this was a somewhat surprising decision, those involved in the business of private investigation are thrilled at the outcome. They now have more options to track down their objective without the worry of evidence being thrown out of court.

Nearly every parent and teenager have experienced the frustrations of communication. Parents want to make sure their child is safe, teenagers want the independence they feel their older years grant them. These different perspectives can sadly create confusion and discord in what should be a loving relationship. No young person needs his or her parents’ help more than when navigating the difficult waters of young adulthood.

So how can parents and teens break down these barriers to friendship and create an open and loving relationship? The solutions lies in both parent and teens’ responses. Both sides generally make their mistakes and both sides need to work together to create unity; however, to advance that unity, there are a few things parents can do.

For some families, personal tracking devices may help improve the situation. When used with the knowledge and consent of the child, these devices can often set up accountability and open communication. In the case of car tracking, parents can place the devices in the car of their young child and be kept up to date on the movements of their teen driver.

These devices often set up an accountability system. For instance, when your child is learning to drive, you can constantly monitor his or her progress and correct when something is done wrong or foolishly. Once that teenager gets a license, you often lose your hold on that monitoring. While this can be a good thing, teens need to grow into adults, parental aid is still important. A vehicle tracking device allows you, the parent, to keep that close eye on your child while still making sure he or she stays safe. Knowing that someone is monitoring their driving often helps teenagers practice better driving habits.

In addition, a vehicle tracking system can help open up communication. Rather than constantly arguing over safe driving habits and wondering whether your child practices those habits, you can know exactly how your teenager drives and open discussion about what is and isn’t right to do on the road. When used correctly, these devices will draw you and your budding adult closer as you teach the skills needed to be responsible in the real-world.

Make sure your teenager goes into that real-world with both an ability to be independent and a healthy dose of responsibility. GPS tracking can help you in that two-fold endeavor.

As unbelievable as it may sound, some people lead double lives. Some men are happily married with children, but they have two different wives. Their wives and children may live in the same state, or across the country in a place that they have to travel to a lot because of work. Sometimes there can be obvious signs leading to this, and sometimes it remains undiscovered for years. However, if you have suspicions that your spouse may be hiding something from you, whether or not it is as serious as another wife, a GPS tracker may help you find out the truth.

Granted, if your husband travels across the country by plane regularly you cannot track his car. But you could slip a GPS tracker into a pocket in his suitcase or get a GPS tracking plane for his cell phone. GPS technology is continually advancing, so there is probably a solution for every circumstance that would come up.

By putting a GPS tracker in your husband’s car or suitcase you can follow him on his travels. If you have a real time tracker, you will be able to tell immediately on a digital map where he is. This will enable you to locate his work location and his hotel as well as any restaurants or bars that he visits. If he calls to tell you that he has arrived safely and is going to check into his hotel, you can track him and see if his location is truly at a hotel or in another location that would point to infidelity.

You may think that tracking your spouse is something that paranoid people do, but many times the signs that your husband is cheating in you are scarce. In these situations, the only way that you will discover the truth is if you track him. It may not be the best thing to do for building up trust in a relationship, but if you have doubts, a GPS tracker can definitely give you answers quickly.

Of course, it is not guaranteed to work. Your husband may be tricky and have his mistress come to the hotel that he is staying at. This would not give you any indication of his infidelity. However, most men are not going to suspect that they are being tracked, so they will usually do something that gives themselves away.

A GPS tracker, whether passive or real time, can help you find out for sure if your spouse is truly faithful, even if he is all the way across the country.

Poll Results for Spouse Infidelity

So what do you do if you have suspicions about your spouse and your birthday or anniversary is not in the near future? Well, you could hire a private investigator, another thing commonly seen on movies and TV. But if that sounds too expensive, there is something else that you could try.

A GPS tracking system in the car of your spouse would allow you to track his or her movements. Not only can you be sure that your husband really is working late when he says that he will be by tracking his location, the GPS car tracker also tells you how fast he is going and how long he is parked anywhere. This ensures that a spouse cannot rendezvous at a location that could easily be explained. If you have proof that your wife was parked at a gas station for 2 hours, you know she was doing more than filling the tank and buying bread. If a spouse became worried that she was being tracked and decided to leave the car at work to make her whereabouts untraceable, you would still know just how long she was at work and how fast she sped home to try to mask the time gap.

For a relatively small cost, you can get a very reliable and accurate GPS tracking system. Many systems are magnetic, which allow you to stick it easily in an obscure place until you are ready to plug it in to the computer and see where your spouse has been lately.

Of course, this kind of system is not fool-proof. There are ways to get around a GPS tracking system, like parking at work and taking a taxi to another location. This would also not help track affairs with coworkers. However, this kind of a system would help in many situations and make it very difficult for a spouse to cheat and get away with it.

Stop Abuse

GPS tracking systems are small enough to be covertly installed in a car. The use of the device has the ability to tell you in real time where the car is. Let’s take the example of your significant other being addicted to drugs.

Drugs are generally dealt from a home or public place. Typically dealers will stake out an area as “theirs” and deal from that area. If your significant other leaves the house and returns acting “a little strangely,” you will want to know where they went and what they were doing there. A GPS tracking system can be installed into the vehicle that your significant other drives most of the time.

The use of GPS tracking can provide you with the information that you need to know. In real time you can watch the route that is taken and even see how fast they are driving. Once a pattern is established, you can then proceed to the next part of the plan.

Once they leave the house, you know where they are going and have the opportunity to get there before they do. If they are buying drugs, you can be sitting at their usual meeting place and await their arrival. They obviously don’t want you to know what they are doing and your presence is enough of a deterrent to keep them from buying their drugs. If this happens enough times, they will open a frank and formal discussion about their behavior and potentially be open to treatment for their addiction.

One of the things that will cause them serious consternation is how you manage to arrive at the same place that they are going to when you theoretically don’t know where they are going. Your ace in the hole is the vehicle tracking device. They are obviously going to be upset that you have been “spying on them” but once you explain that you are doing it for their own good they may calm down and be understanding about the situation.

The vehicle tracking device solves the problem of where are they going and why they are going there. Without the vehicle tracking device you would never know where they are and could never intervene in what they are doing.
