A “Ticking Time Bomb”

The world is becoming more and more connected each and every single day, and each of us who live and work and interact in this digitized world give little bits of ourselves away. With social media applications such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Tumblr, individual and corporate data that at one point in time was considered highly personal and classified, has now been made readily accessible to the general public with a click of a mouse.

At the turn of the millennium, the term “server” still referred to the person who brings the food to your table at a restaurant, but now it encompasses a completely different meaning altogether. Today, a server refers to a computing program that allows users to store electronic data, such as emails, Google searches, banking records, phone conversations, text messages, pictures, personal information, etc.

Supreme Court Mandates Warranted GPS Tracking

The Supreme Court ruled Monday that law enforcement officials violated the Constitutional rights of suspected cocaine dealer, Antoine Jones, when they attached a GPS tracking device on his Jeep without a search warrant. The data obtained from the GPS tracker was used to convict Jones of possession of narcotics with the intent to distribute, which was later overturned in a federal appeals court.

District of Columbia police and FBI agents watched Jones, a nightclub owner, for months with an array of surveillance techniques, including tapping his cellphone under a warrant from a federal judge. Police had obtained a warrant for the District of Columbia, however, it expired before the GPS tracking device was installed in Maryland.

The United States vs. Antoine Jones

On November 8, 2011, the Supreme Court listened and responded to oral arguments from both sides in a landmark case, which would have determined whether police and law enforcement agencies would be able to monitor suspected criminals with covert GPS tracking devices without having to obtain a warrant.

The case involved a suspected cocaine trafficker in the Washington, D.C. area, whose movements were monitored 24/7 over a 28 day period without a warrant by the FBI and local police investigators. Some of the information obtained from the GPS tracker was used to convict Antoine Jones of conspiracy to distribute cocaine, which was later overturned by a lower circuit appeals court.

GPS Device Tracks Down ‘Sin Bad’

The Minnesota Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that Sherburne County investigators did not violate the Constitution when they attached a GPS tracker to a burglary suspect’s work vehicle and used it to track him to a burglary scene.

Deputies used the GPS tracking device to track the suspect, Sin Santo Bad, to a residential house as he was cleaning out a safe.

Sin Santo Bad was convicted of first-degree burglary and sentenced to 11 years in prison. Bad appealed the conviction, contending that placing the GPS tracker on a truck he used at work constituted an illegal search, and in direct violation of his Fourth Amendment rights. Bad’s attorneys requested that the evidence investigators obtained after his arrest should be suppressed.

St. Louis Worker’s Time Sheets Questioned

Fred Robinson seemed to be the ideal employee. Every weekday that he worked in 2010 except one, the St. Louis City Treasurer’s Office employee started work at precisely 7:30 a.m., according to his time sheets. Robinson was hired by the Treasurer’s Office to drive around the city in order to look for broken parking meters and to fine illegally parked vehicles that hadn’t been ticketed.

However, FBI special agent, Monique Comeau, testified earlier this month that this wasn’t necessarily the case based on her investigation into Robinson’s actual work day. She usually found him leaving the house at roughly 9 a.m., spending a about an hour at a local diner, then driving between his second job as the head of a charter school and his third job, where Robinson was the process of establishing his own day care.
