The Supreme Judicial Court has decided to weigh in on a case where a man has been accused of tracking two vehicles using a GPS device. The Commonwealth alleged in court documents that the man believed his significant other was having an affair and that is why he used the GPS devices.

After being charged with criminal harassment, the man’s attorney, Sabrina Bonanno (of Sweeney & Associates LLC) successfully argued in District Court that the charges should be dismissed. The Commonwealth appealed the dismissal and the Supreme Judicial Court has decide to weigh in on the issue of whether it is legal to track the whereabouts of another person using a GPS device in Massachusetts.

“My client is accused of doing what any private investigator would have done,” said Bonanno, the Quincy attorney representing the man. “It is not a violation of the law.” Bonanno defends against the suggestion that the actions, though admittedly disconcerting for the affected parties, are criminal under Massachusetts law.

The Supreme Judicial Court is likely to schedule oral argument for the fall of 2018 and will ultimately render a decision that could change how GPS tracking devices are used in Massachusetts by private citizens.
