Pick and choose.

I then go on to say

"Now they can just shove a $50 tracker under your bumper and call it a 
day.  At that price, why not use them whenever possible, even for no 
good reason?"

That was sarcasm, but probably not far off from someone's thinking.  If 
you are going to spend the resources of 100 agents to tail one person, 
you had better be able to justify that expense.  You aren't going to 
expend those resources on the roommate of the target's 2nd ex girlfriend 
on the 1 in 10,000 chance it might lead to something useful.  At only 
$50 though, why not?  And if no one finds out, it's free!

Nowhere did I say either was alright.  I was pointing out that limited 
resources have acted as a barrier to widespread, continuous surveillance 
of private citizens.

I am going to assume you understand that and are just being difficult, 
unless you don't think that having access to such a cheap and easy tool 
will tempt law enforcement to abuse the ever-loving poo out of it.
