If I found it on my car and it was labeled "property of sheriff's dept" or such, I'd just go return it...to the bottom of one of the sheriff's dept cars.

Shoot, I'd do that even if it wasn't labeled "property of sheriff's dept."

That depends on the how the power is supplied. If it is supplied through the car battery, then it will be fused to the accessrory fuse, as it would be meant to turn on and off with the key.

Puilling that fuse would prevent the device from, and you could not be charged with a crime for pulling out a fuse.

A police tracker would not be connected to a car power source.

Another way he could have done it was to get a jammer that jams wireless Internet (1x,2g,3g,4g,5g,wifi,wimax).

An illegal cell phone jammer hardly seems an improvement on the legality scale...
