how is something just if the government has only X budget to enforce something but then becomes unjust if the government had unlimited resources to

fully enforce it? So suddenly if there were unlimited police officers to follow every citizen, it would be an intrusion on privacy in public? (I don't even know what constitutional principal that would violate). That makes no sense to me.

- the answer is simple. there is no reasonable expectation of privacy in public. there is a reasonable expectation of privacy in private, which is why - Max Sep 13, 11:06 7

    - No, that's what's funny. In doing genealogy you get a real sense that there was no damn privacy. - Max Sep 13, 11:13 5

        but they aren't opening the car, just placing something on it. The police do search mail if they think it is an explosive or drugs don't they? -- nm - Beaker Sep 13, 11:19 2

        I can see the argument that attaching something to the car might be seen to unreasonably violate the integrity of personal property - znufrii Sep 13, 11:20
        
        are they looking in the car or just tracking its movements on public roads? there's a big difference there. -- nm - Max Sep 13, 11:18
