GPS Tracker Technology has pluses, disadvantages

Manitoba David Gerhard’s professor on the computer science said that both useful and dishonest use for trackers. He gave examples such as people who use trackers to follow their vehicles or possessions in the event of theft, or for safety, if they were in astonishing, as positive.

“But, of course, if you take one of these little boxes and put it on another’s vehicle instead of your own vehicle, then you can know their location without their consent,” he said.

“And it’s bad.”
