What Do I Do If I Get This Job?

I noticed in another question that someone was worried that their boss was going to install a tracking device in their company vehicle and was there an easy way of finding them. The overiding answer seemed to be don't worry unless you've got something to hide. This did not seem to answer, what seems to me to be, the most important question of all - Does the installation of a tracker into a vehicle, without the trackee's consent, infringe the trackee's human rights or civil liberties? Anyone know?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Trackers don't let people see where you are at all times anyway. The reliable tracker available to the general public is one that records the route and then you upload it to a computer to view it.
Another kind is where you text it through an online computer program which tells you the location, but these are expensive to use regularly and aren't reliable.
Ones where you see it in realtime motion much like satnav are not available to the public.
As far as Human Rights legislation goes, it only applies to state controlled bodies, not to private companies. Its original intention (which largely seems to have been lost amongst the inane nonsense that is spouted about it today) was to prevent the oppression of individuals by an over-zealous state.
Fortunately this is one aspect of the ridiculous ways we see the legislation interpreted, which has managed to remain intact. Therefore, employees of private companies cannot cite �Human Rights� in their disagreements with their employers.
As for this particular issue, why should an employer not be entitled to know where an employee is either during the hours he is being paid, or whilst he is in a vehicle owned by the employer?
