Carpenter v. United States
| Case Date: | 06/22/2018 |
| Citation: | Carpenter v. United States, 138 S. Ct. 2206 (2018) |
| Court Type: | Federal Supreme Court |
| Court: | U.S. Supreme Court |
| Judge: | Chief Justice (CJ): John G. Roberts |
| Rule(s): | 4th Amendment |
| Issues: | Whether an individual is entitled to Fourth Amendment protections when the Government conducts a search using cell phone location records that accurately reflect an individual’s movements. |
| Resolution: | Judgment of the Court of Appeals reversed and remanded for further proceedings. The Court held that an individual has a reasonable expectation of privacy in the record of his/her movements as captured through cell-site location information (CLSI), and that the CLSI provided by Defendant’s wireless carriers constituted a search. Thus, the Government must generally obtain a warrant supported by probable cause before acquiring such information. |
