A state appellate court in New Jersey ruled that the tracking of a man by his now ex-wife did not constitute an invasion of privacy. The ruling, which is a no doubt good news for the private investigation and services business does raise major red flags for citizens, not only in New Jersey but nationwide.

Law Riot had brought you a similar story last year, concerning the legality of police tracking on citizens. An appellate court in the Ninth Circuit ruled it is legal for police to track citizens during investigations.

The ruling focused on the fact that throughout the 40 days of tracking, the car was always located in a public setting and since its location was not private, no invasion of privacy could be established.

This is bad news for cheating spouses, kids heading off to secret parties without their parent’s blessings and family members who value anonymity.
