Private Investigator Appeals to Nevada Supreme Court in Reno Mayor’s Case Over GPS Tracking Device

RENO, Nev. (AP) – A court battle between the mayor of Reno and a private investigator who secretly tracked them with a GPS device ahead of November’s election is moving to the Nevada Supreme Court. A district judge hearing Mayor Hillary Schieve’s privacy invasion lawsuit had ordered the investigator to name the client who hired him to spy on the mayor and another politician. The appeal, which the investigator’s attorneys filed in the state Supreme Court on Friday, said the client’s name was a trade secret. It is said that forcing the detective to disclose it would violate the confidentiality of their business relationship, like disclosing a secret sauce in a valuable recipe.
