The Supreme Court of Nevada hears oral arguments in the GPS persecution with the Mayor of Reno

Las Vegas, nev. – The Supreme Court of Nevada heard oral arguments on Tuesday in the year-long case in relation to the installation of tracking devices on Reno Mayor Hillary Schiev's and a former car of the district of Washoe County.

The question at the center of this latest hearing was whether John Doe, who hired a private investigator to put the tracking devices on the cars, can remain anonymous.

So far, John Doe has been able to do this, but the lawyers that the mayor of Reno, Hillary Schiev, and the former commissioner of Washoe County, Vaughn Hartung, hope to reveal his name and partially argue that his identity for the court is necessary to make an informed decision.

“We cannot take over John Doe's deposit without his name. We cannot check his statements. We cannot examine him. We cannot watch other witnesses that have been revealed. We don't even know whether he is really anonymous,” said Adam Hosmer-Henner, one of the lawyers, the Schieve and Hartung, and hardening.

But John Doe's lawyers argue that the unveiling of his identity would violate his right to initiate his initial constitution in order to get anonymous to political activities, whereby the fear is that Doe will be exposed to the public when his identity is unveiled.

“It is quite possible.” My customer was already afraid to realize retaliation. “

The lawyers who represented Schiev and Hartung replied that there was no first -time right to privacy, and argued if someone was injured privacy, be it mayor Schieve and Hartung.

“John Does Petition combines both cowardice and hypocrisy by trying to keep his own identity privately without taking into account the data protection rights that he trampled into Ms. Schieve and Mr. Hartung's privacy,” said Hosmer-Henner.

The Court will now be superior and will be a break until the next court call.
