Yes, that's what they are. But does that mean are they breaking federal law or unconstitutional? I believe we've been told by the courts repeatedly that we should have no expectation of privacy out in public.

  No expectation of privacy does not mean you can follow someone around all day and keep a log of what they do, which is essentially what this thing does.
  Over the course of a days/weeks, the places one visits, roads you drive on, etc. those things should definitely be private.

    Isn't that what paparazzi do already? Seems like you can do that.
