Stalked by satellite - an alarming rise in GPS-enabled harassment

This paper reports on the growing number of incidents when GPS devices have been used to track and torment former loved ones. Originally developed by the US Department of Defense, GPS technology has been widely adapted for civilian uses. While there are laws against stalking or harassment in many US states, few specifically address GPS tracking, mobile phones, Internet spyware, and other recent developments in consumer technology. The paper also provides some useful tips for anyone suspecting that he/she is a victim of GPS stalking.
