The examples, tracking movements and searching a home, are privacy re-
lated, but you have the same problems with issues that are not privacy
related. Freezing a bank account for instance is not a privacy issue.
Whether something within a justice system is okay or not does not de-
pend on whether it affects privacy, so the reasoning, warrantless GPS
tracking is okay because it does not affect privacy, is wrong, regard-
less of whether, or by how much, "privacy" is affected by doing it, or
by disclosing it publically in some personally identifiable manner.
