Citation: United States v Jones/ United States courts of Appeals/ District of Columbia, 2012/132 S. Ct. 945 Facts: In 2004, the FBI initiated an investigation on Jones and other associates for a possible drug trafficking. During the investigation FBI agents obtained a warrant authorizing them to install a Global Positioning System tracking device on a Jeep, Jones used regularly. The warrant allowed agent to install the tracking device within 10th days of its issue but agents did not install the device until the 11th day. The GPS gave the FBI information regarding the Jeep’s and Jones every movement and based on the information provided agents determined that drug trafficking activity was present. Eventually it secured an indictment of jones and others for drug trafficking conspiracy charges, although the District court suppressed the GPS date obtained while the jeep was in Jones curtilage of the home they held that other date obtained outside in the public areas was admissible as jones had no reasonable expectation of privacy. The Distinct court reversed and held that admission of ev...

Facts: On November 2006 the Miami-Dade police department received an anonymous tip that the home of Joelis Jardines was been used to grow marihuana. On December 2006 two detectives along with a trained drug sniffing dog approached Jardines home. At the front door the dog signaled for drugs, as well as the detective who smelled the marihuana coming from inside. Detectives then wrote an affidavit and obtained a search warrant that confirmed the growth of marihuana in Jardine’s home. Jardines was then charged for drug trafficking. Jardines then tried to suppress all evidence and say that in theory during the drug sniffing dog was an illegal search under the 4th amendment. The trial courts then ruled to suppress all evidence, the state appellate courts then appealed and reversed, the standing concluding that there was no illegal search and the dog’s presence did not require a warrant.

... consent to the installation, this action should be considered as a “trespass” (Supreme 7). Dreeben has a weak following statement saying that it could be counted as a “technical trespass” but that would then make U.S. v. Karo a technical trespass (Supreme 7). Here, Dreeben illustrates the “but he did it too” tactic that younger kids use when they are questioned after getting in trouble. Kids say this when they really do not know what to say or how to justify their actions. Dreeben realizes that this would be considered as a trespass which would then mean that it was a violation of the Fourth Amendment. However, he tried to revert to the method of putting the blame of someone else because he struggled at justifying an opposing view towards Jones during this time. The court moves on from the trespassing issue to the topic of warrants for the GPS (Supreme 17).

...hed the car in places where contraband would not normally be found, but it had no relation to the discovery of the cocaine. The weapons found at the ranch are admissible due to the fact the agents had a warrant to search the ranch for drugs and weapons. The Lamborghini is not admissible due to the fact it was not covered by the warrant and the VID# was not in plain sight of the Agent doing the search. The statement made about trying to find Snow White would not be admissible in court because Agent Smith arrested Doe and started asking him questions about Doe's crime before Doe was read his Miranda Rights. Lastly, the statement Doe made about his supplier would be admissible in court because Doe was read his Miranda Rights and acknowledged his understanding of the rights and made a voluntary confession afterwards with no coercion on the part of the Agents involved.
