Tracking device prohibition and vehicle remote-access suspension for abuse survivors

Louisiana makes it a crime to use a tracking device to follow another person's location or movements without consent, with exceptions for vehicle owners, parents of minors, law enforcement with a court order, and others. A 2025 law removes the owner exception for abusers subject to protective orders and requires vehicle manufacturers to cut off an abuser's remote access to a survivor's vehicle within two business days of a complete request.
