Federal 7th Circuit Court
Criminal Court
Search and Seizure
In prosecution on drug distribution charge, Dist. Ct. did not err in denying defendant's motion to suppress drugs seized from defendant's vehicle that had been tagged by police with GPS device. Under Garcia, 474 F3d 994, installation and use of GPS device does not violate 4th Amendment where said device merely records activity occurring on public street. Moreover, Ct. rejected defendant's argument that use of said device over 60-hour period that covered his trip across country constituted impermissible intrusion on his privacy. (Dissent filed.)
