So by this logic, the cops could get a warrant to bug your house, put a big, obvious microphone in the middle of your living room, label it "FBI surveillance microphone", and you would be forbidden from removing it? What about an ankle monitor? Can those be attached with a mere warrant, not part of any punishment? Just how obedient are US citizens required to be at the request of a mere (mostly rubber-stamped) warrant?

Re: Cops put GPS tracker on man’s car, charge him with theft for removing it
#12So if I'm a cop and I want to manufacture probable cause to raid your house, all I have to do is attach a tracking device somewhere stupidly obvious on your car and wait for it to stop working?
Why not just skip all that?
You could literally walk up to ~near the suspect's car with the GPS tracker, have it give a few results (recorded), then walk off with the GPS yourself.
Who'd believe the perp's claims of innocence, that they'd never seen the tracker (etc)...
