U.S. Supreme Court to Decide Essential Search and Seizure Instance from Michigan Involving Cellular Site(Tower) Area Information
The United States Supreme Court heard debates 2 weeks ago pertaining to a government trial out of the Eastern District of Michigan that caused the conviction of several armed robbers. The case USA v. Carpenter, however, involved an issue that has come under attack recently, as a result of the Court's prior choices entailing private personal privacy rights in various other modern technology situations. In Carpenter, the UNITED STATE Attorney introduced proof of what is called cell site location information, which, basically, is information that is saved by cellular phone towers that can give location details regarding the mobile phone customer, even when they are not directly using the phone. After his conviction, the Defendant submitted an appeal, suggesting that the Government obtained the records without obtaining a search warrant, and a warrant must be required to acquire that cell site location information.
