With GPS technology become increasingly sophisticated, one question that will no doubt be debated in due course is the viability of GPS data as evidence in a court case. InformationWeek argues maybe not:

“A 2003 Los Alamos National Laboratory research paper by Jon S. Warner and Roger G. Johnston, members of the lab’s Vulnerability Assessment Team, states, “Civilian Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers are vulnerable to attacks such as blocking, jamming, and spoofing.” The VAT had previously demonstrated that claim by simulating the hijacking of a cargo truck monitored by GPS.”
