Herring v. State
Herring v. State
Case Date: | 05/22/2015 |
Citation: | Herring v. State, 168 So. 3d 240 (Fla. 1st DCA 2015) |
Court Type: | District Court of Appeal |
Court: | Fla. 1st DCA |
Judge: | Judge: L. Clayton Roberts |
Rule(s): | 4th Amendment |
Issues: | Defendant file a motion to suppress, alleging the State violated his Fourth Amendment rights through the warrantless possession of real time cell site location information (CSLI). |
Resolution: | The Court reversed the trial court’s ruling, and held that Defendant’s Fourth Amendment rights were violated. The Court stated there is an expectation of privacy in cell site location information, as evidenced by the recent Tracey Florida Supreme Court case. Because there was never any binding precedent stating that the usage of cell site location information did not violate privacy, the good faith exception did not apply. Further, although exigent circumstances existed for the cell location tracking, the State had time to get a warrant, which made the exigent circumstances exception non-applicable. |
