Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:
Back in 2012, the US Supreme Court ruled that it's illegal for the police to attach a GPS tracking device to someone's car without a warrant. But what if you find a GPS tracking device on your car? Can you remove it?
A little more than a year ago, the state of Indiana charged a suspected drug dealer with theft for removing a government-owned GPS tracking device from his SUV. This month, the state's Supreme Court beganĀ considering the case, and some justices seemed skeptical of the government's argument.
"I'm really struggling with how is that theft," said Justice Steven David during recent oral arguments.

The movement of device from place to place was done without the mans consent. It is therefore "involuntary servitude", and a violation of the 13th amendment.
Though SCOTUS is not real big on the 13th, and to be frank most federal courts would probably repeal without a second goose-step.
