Hi,
The two cases would be similar if the cops were in your back seat, otherwise, no. They have put a device on or in your property without your authorization and without getting a warrant. If the poor almost extinct bill of rights means anything anymore, that is illegal.

The stakeout and tail is an accepted method of investigation that has been around for decades, all without a judge's warrant.
