The case is United States v. Antoine Jones, and the filings from the case can be found on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scotusblog.com\/case-files\/cases\/united-states-v-jones\/\" target=\"_blank\">Scotus Blog<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p>The criminal defense lawyers in the case allege that Jones&#8217; Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures was violated when federal agents put a GPS tracking device on his car without his consent.  The tracking resulted in the defendant being charged with federal drug charges.

In the case, the police obtained a warrant to monitor the activity of defendant Jones; however, the warrant expired, meaning that no valid search warrant authorized the GPS monitoring.  The federal agents in the case installed a GPS tracking device on the defendant&#8217;s car without his knowledge or consent.  <\/p>\n<div class=\"read_more_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.delsignoredefense.com\/blog\/oral-argument-heard-in-case-ch\/\"  title=\"Continue Reading United States Supreme Court hears argument addressing whether GPS tracking violates the Fourth Amendment\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading \u203a<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United States Supreme Court heard arguments in a case raising the issue of whether GPS monitoring violates an individuals Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures under the Constitution.
