Looks like a viable tool for law enforcement.

Anyone have any sources that show the devices are actually being used in "routine traffic stops, without a warrant"?

I routinely agree with you on most things, but I'm not sure I do here. Sure it's a viable LE tool, but I don't think they should be in patrol cars on regular shift duty. Too much risk of inappropriate use. These should only be leaving the station with a warrant in hand IMO. :(

As for the mention of GPS tracking devices, someone puts one on my vehicle, it's going to inconveniently fall off on a bridge over a river most likely. :D

If we are only allowing equipment to leave the station that has a low potential for abuse, would you extend that logic to other devices and not allow the TASER, PR-24, OC spray, digital cameras, MDT's etc. on the street?

Everyone wants a large portion of people want a warrant for these. If they are mobile, in a vehicle how would the Carroll exception not apply? There is absolutely zero reports of misuse in the articles, perhaps I'm not wearing enough tin foil to see it? No one has stated these have been used on "routine" traffic stops. A handful of people have stated they would destroy their phones before handing them over. If you did that, you would most likely create additional criminal charges.
