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 began 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.

That sounds like a drug rehabilitation program.
But seriously, is that even feasible? Can I get a recipe to repair meth (without ending up on a list)?

no
he was joking about the 2-liter bottle method of preparation that resulted in anyone with allergies and wanting an OTC medication that actually worked... and that people with serious allergies are reverse engineering the product to get the component parts they need to lead a productive life, as opposed to the other way around.
most people doing the 2 liter bottle method just shop lift the stuff and don't get on any such lists anyway. People actually suffering get to suffer a little more because of it.
