Law enforcement's uses of GPS technology

Overview
The military and private sector are not alone in their interests and reliance on GPS technology. Federal and state governments have also incorporated it into many of their domestic activities. Examples include tracking stranded motorists and predicting natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, etc. Such tracking allows for more effective emergency relief to victims. Increasingly, law enforcement relies on and finds new uses for GPS technology to assist in monitoring and gathering evidence.11 For example, sex offenders are outfitted with ankle monitors to track their movements 24 hours a day.
