Supreme Court to Review Constitutionality of Geofence Warrants

The Supreme Court will consider the constitutionality of a key law enforcement tool that has grown in significance in recent years alongside the growth of location-enabled devices: geofence warrants. The justices will hear arguments on Monday in Chatrie v. United States, which will examine Okello Chatrie’s claim that the Justice Department’s use of a geofence warrant violates the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable searches and seizures. The arguments will put the emerging technological law enforcement tool under the microscope, and the high court’s decision in the case could limit a tool that has been at the center of various criminal investigations across the country.
