MADISON, WI (WTAQ) – A Wisconsin bill that’s up for a public hearing Tuesday would make it a crime for civilians to secretly track people’s vehicles with GPS devices.
The bill almost made it through the last session — but the Senate never voted on the measure before the floor period ended.
Assembly Republican Adam Neylon of Pewaukee is sponsoring the GPS tracking ban, just like he did last session.
It would be a criminal misdemeanor to plant a device on another person’s vehicle, with maximum penalties of 9 months in jail and fines of up to $10,000.
The Assembly’s Criminal Justice Committee will hear testimony on Neylon’s bill Tuesday.
