Good for the Goose! Good for the Gander!

I have always hated the concept of having a location based service, LBS, (ie GPS) tracking device in my car or on my person. Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of getting location and directional information from my car and/or my phone. However, the concept of a "log" of information on my activities, that an insurance company, a rental car company or a "controlling legal authority" would have access to, seemed a little more "big brother" than I would like.

However, it appears that there might be a "good" use for the information in a GPS log.... A young man from California is fighting a speeding ticket with his GPS log. Good for him!

Let's hope that someone somewhere makes those logs "personal" and not "subpoena"-able by one of those "controlling legal authorities" or anyone else for that matter... :)
