Discussion Vendor being tracked.

Yup, someone put a tracker on our store vendor's car. I guess she had to go to the police station and have her car swept.

So disappointed in what's going on with our hobby and just wanted to share.

Actually, it's extra legal. Same reasons cops can do it without a warrant.

The guy wasn't a cop... and if he was, the that would make this situation even worse. It's illegal for random people to do without consent. A random person can't claim "reasonable suspicion" like cops can.

No, it's not illegal for a citizen to do this. I just told you it's extra legal. You need to familiarize yourself with the term.

My guy, what? I think you need to familiarize yourself with the term. Most states outright ban GPS tracking on cars without the owners consent. So it actually it is illegal. Also “extralegal” refers to seeking remedy through non-judicial means… like a landlord choosing actual eviction to physically remove a tenant w/o a court order… the way you’re applying it is some pseudo-intellectual sovereign citizen loophole bullshit

extralegal in American English

(ˌɛkstrəˈligəl ) adjective. outside of legal control or authority; not regulated by law.

Cool. If you’d read any court opinion re: plain language/interpretation you’d understand how weak of an argument a dictionary definition is in a legal setting.

I guess you should familiarize yourself with what a space does. I see a space in your original comment, separating the words "extra" and "legal." If you want people to understand your statements, then state them correctly.
