On November 18, 2011, NACDL member and contributing amicus brief author Susan J. Walsh presented this 1-hour program CLE program foreshadowing the SCOTUS decision handed down in US v. Jones on Jan. 23, 2012.
The presentation; "GPS Cases: Battling 21st Century Surveillance" surveys the state of the law the week after SCOTUS heard oral argument in this watershed Fourth Amendment case.
Ms. Walsh analyzes the "beeper cases;" the two earlier Supreme Court tracking cases decided in the 1980's; the evolution and mechanics of the current GPS technology in comparison to that 20 years ago and the current landscape of the constitutional issue under state constitutions, as well as, the current federal circuit split.
The presentation includes practical tips on the Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure governing the warrant application for GPS tracking; discovery, suppression and open issues ripe for challenge in an advancing digital age including the chilling effect to our First Amendment Rights associated with a technologically maturing society.
