U.S. v. Taylor

Dist. Ct. did not err in denying defendant’s motion to suppress drugs and guns police found in defendant’s storage locker pursuant to search warrant, where police learned of location of storage locker through use of GPS unit that police had placed on defendant’s car without warrant in 2011. While Supreme Ct. in Jones, 132 S.Ct. 945 (2012) found that attaching GPS unit to car for purposes of gathering information was search under 4th Amendment, police used GPS unit in objectively reasonable reliance on binding precedent in effect at time of GPS placement, which allowed police to attach GPS unit to car without any 4th Amendment consequence. Fact that defendant argued that instant officers requested judicial authorization to track defendant’s car for up to 60 days, had attached GPS unit when his car was parked on private property and used car’s battery to power GPS unit did not require different ruling.
