GPS is Everywhere

  • Minutes after an armed bank heist in Calumet City last week, the three suspects met up at the home of one of their parents in neighboring Dolton. They barely were out of their vehicles when they heard sirens -- getting louder and louder.

    How had the cops tracked them down so quickly? The masks, getaway vehicles and meet-up location had all been mapped out earlier, but a relatively new feature in bank security -- credit-card-size GPS devices hidden in stolen cash -- led police almost instantly to the suspects, according to an FBI affidavit.
Expect this to be used with increasing regularity in all sorts of investigations. All sorts of them. You have been warned.
