Bill overview
This bill creates a new crime in New Jersey – unlawful tracking – specifically targeting the use of location tracking devices like GPS to commit an illegal act. It defines this as a fourth-degree crime, but also establishes enhanced penalties, including potential extended prison sentences, for those convicted of this offense. The bill amends existing sentencing guidelines to ensure that tracking for unlawful purposes results in more severe consequences.
