    Default Can I Legally Track My Spouse's Vehicle

    My question involves a marriage in the state of:NY

    I'm not exactly sure if this thread is in the correct section, I'll leave that up to the mods.

    What are the legalities of a GPS Logger ?

    Not a 'real time' GPS, where you could find out where someone (or their vehicle) is at any particular moment.

    I'm referring to the 'logger' types, where you place the device in the vehicle, and have to retrieve the device to find out where the device (vehicle) has been.

    Something like this:

    Any advice, input and suggestions are appreciated.

    This is a vehicle YOU own or a vehicle someone else owns? This devices doesn't log where SOMEONE is, it logs where THE VEHICLE YOU OWN is. If left in a vehicle you own, i don't see the issue.

    Spouse's vehicle.
    Just to confirm one more time, your name does or does not appear on the title of the vehicle, in addition or without her name, even though she's the primary driver it doesn't mean that you are not on the title. If your name isn't on the title, i wouldn't do it. But, don't take just my word on this, if you a 'insured driver' for that vehicle under the insurance policy, it maybe different.

    I'm not 100% sure, wait for someone else to post.

    Thanks, Superpop.

    No, my name does not appear on the title.

    I am an insured driver on this vehicle.

    Any input and suggestions are appreciated.

    Default Can I Legally Track My Spouse's Movements

    My question involves the state of:NY

    I posted a similar thread in another section. Then realized that this may be a better section for it. But I'll leave it up to the mods.

    What is the purpose? That is likely where violations of law enter.

    I agree. If mom and dad put a gps device on the car so that they can figure out what their teenager is up to there is going to be no violation.

    If a boyfriend or girlfriend puts a gps device on a car owned by their significant other, in order to spy on them, that a whole 'nuther story.

    Husband placing a GPS logger on wife's car.

    Titled to her.

    Joint insurance (we can drive each other's cars).

    I can find information about 'real time' GPS devices. Where you know where the vehicle IS.

    But nothing in regards to data loggers. Where the vehicle WAS.

    Hoping the members here can help.
