There wasn’t much evidence linking the man to the assaults beyond his past and the fact that he lived in the area. But thanks to the GPS device, the police caught the man committing an assault.
Here’s the catch: The police didn’t have court approval to place the device. And, according to the Post, this is an increasingly common tactic.”
