"They sought warrants to search Heuring’s home and the barn, alleging that there was probable cause that a crime had been committed — that Heuring had committed theft by taking off the GPS tracker. While searching the barn, they found the tracker in a bathroom locker. They also found evidence of drug use: a glass pipe.

A subsequent search, granted by a judge based on the paraphernalia, uncovered bags of methamphetamine, pills, digital scales and a gun. Heuring was charged with drug dealing and with theft."

Smart enough to take the tracker off the car. Dumb enough to keep it on-location with conviction-worthy drug paraphernalia.

Attach it to a hire car. Keep it moving, but as far away from your illegalities as possible, my goodness.
