The U.S. Supreme Court is considering whether police need warrants for GPS tracking, and judges in lower courts are increasingly faced with questions about police tracking of suspects' cell phones. "Americans need to pay attention to the intersection of technology and their privacy rights. Citizens willing to tell the world where they are via Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare must also consider whether this sharing could eventually erode future privacy expectations as well as their rights," says Houston white-collar criminal defense lawyer Jimmy Ardoin. "Technology is clearly changing our understanding of what is public. As our courts determine where to draw the lines when it comes to police work and 4^th Amendment rights, we also need to be aware of where we are pushing our own lines when it comes to privacy or, more accurately, lack of privacy."
