Journal 13: Analyzing an Argument

Andrew Harrer. Supreme Court to decide: Is GPS tracking too '1984'? - latimes.com. (n.d.). Los Angeles Times - California, national and world news - latimes.com. Retrieved November 14, 2011, from http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/opinionla/la-ed-gps-20111110,0,3813779.story

In this article Andrew Harrer pokes fun at that the police should be allowed to affix an electronic tracking device to a suspect's car without a warrant and follow his every movement for a month (par. 1). His point that  there's something creepy about round-the-clock electronic surveillance  (par. 2) is a claim of policy which appeals to emotion: creepy. He thinks that GPS tracking, which allows police to follow as many people as they want for as long as they want without expending many resources, takes invasion of privacy to a new level(par.4).
