MADISON, Wis. (AP) The state Assembly has voted to outlaw stalking people with Global Positioning System devices.
The chamber passed a bill that would make putting a GPS device on someone else’s car a felony punishable by up to three years and six months in prison and $10,000 in fines.
The Assembly passed the measure on a voice vote Tuesday night. It goes to the state Senate.
The University of Wisconsin-Madison suspended an employee in February for stalking his wife by secretly installing a GPS unit on his car.
