Groh v. Ramirez

Utah v. Strieff

One of Carter's favorites.  Court allows an arrest warrant to supercede an invalid stop by the police.  Police asked man question, conducted a lien check, and discovered arrest warrant.  This was representative of the doctrine of attenuated circumstances.

Riley v. California

Search of a smart phone at a car stop is improper.  Phone data cannot be used as a weapon.

400

Carpenter v. United States basics

Cell tower data used on a prolonged basis to locate criminal suspects.  

1)  Intrusions of privacy; trespass law; property concepts

2)  Arbitrary power; police surveillance; careful adjudication in face of advancing technology;  Try "not to embarrass the future"

3)  Prosecution tries to argue Miller / Smith v. Maryland / Knotts cases.

4)  Defense argues Jones; Riley; Katz.

5)  Consider surveillance concerns; use for commercial purposes; assumption of risk; third-party doctrine

6)  Dissent focuses on subpoena power of data collection.  Argues should not require strict scrutiny.

400

Michigan v. Long

Similar to Terry v. Ohio.  However, can frisk even if under control.  Carter asks does the 2nd Amendment trump Long since people are killed by those who legitimately own guns.
