While I'm not in favor of warrantless wiretapping or GPS tracking, I'd appreciate you elaborating on your claim that they're twisting logic until it nearly breaks. Unfortunately, this request seems like another step down a slippery slope and not a huge break.

People at DOJ aren't perverted, they're trying to protect you and the country from criminals and terrorists. This is but one of many tools they feel they need to do that job well. You may disagree with their mission, and you may disagree with the tools they use to execute the mission, but calling the people working there "perverted" is an enormous stretch.

Many services, including ones lauded on YC, collect data about you that could be used to track you at any time without a warrant, and give that capability to other civilians. I hope that you think that is perverted, too.

Well, you make my "perverted" point for my by citing "cree.py" - "cree.py" -> "creepy", a synonym for slightly perverted. Even the author(s) of "cree.py" thought that tracking someone is a bit weird.
