Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal
Abstract
The article argues that the expansion of GPS technology in the process service industry and workplace surveillance raises significant Fourth Amendment concerns, as it erodes privacy expectations and creates a chilling effect on personal autonomy. While courts have upheld the use of GPS in certain employment contexts, the author contends that such surveillance often outweighs its benefits, particularly when less intrusive alternatives are available. The analysis critiques the legal standards governing surveillance, particularly the "readily available" standard from United States v. Kyllo, and advocates for a more balanced approach that prioritizes privacy protections.
