Carpenter v United States and Cell Site Data
Much has been written and talked about in the media regarding the recent United States Supreme Court's decision in Carpenter v United States and I would never presume to weigh in any more succinctly or insightfully than Professor Orin Kerr, Frances R. and John J. Duggan Distinguished Professor of Law, University of Southern California Gould School of Law. Therefore, I will simply cite to his learned analysis of this monumental decision. The question of the scope of the Government's ability to seek cell site data without the benefit of a search warrant is still in question, but should anyone need any extensive analysis of the opinion, Professor Kerr's analysis can be found here . My congratulations go out to Detroit Attorney Harold Gurewitz for his persistence in preserving the issue and well-deserved victory. Enjoy.
