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.

According to a friend of mine about his time in the ER, only one person out of the entire lot of people who came in like that (of at least one a day) admitted to putting it up his own rectum. Most everyone else claimed to be doing some activity naked and then falling on the object. Hundreds of people, only one fessed up.
Although, there is a funny story he told me. He was at the entry desk with the triage nurse when a gentlemen walked in with another person assisting them and a noticeable limp. The nurse asks what he needs and he says something along the lines of "I was at home doing some work on my garage and I somehow fell and a piece of rebar went in my ass and I'm afraid to pull it out on my own." The nurse sighs, goes to hand him the stock form and says they can probably see him in 30 minutes when the other guy asks, "I don't want to be a bother, but since it is going to be so long could one of you hold on to the rebar so I can wash my hands and maybe get a pair of gloves." My friend agrees, grabs some gloves, and walks around and sees the friend's hand isn't holding anything near the guy's rectum. No, there is a piece of rebar sticking out of the lower-middle of the cheek and coming out somewhere in the thigh gushing blood. He tells the nurse to admit him right away, she stands up to take a look at herself looks the guy dead in the eye and says, "you really need to describe that differently next time because I was picturing something else." The friend with him says, "What is that supp... (nurse does a pointing up gesture) Man! Noah needs to build another boat."
