The case involves a DC nightclub owner who was investigated for drug trafficking in 2005. Jones’ conviction was previously overturned by a Washington DC appeals court, who cited it violated Jones’ fourth amendment rights to an unreasonable search and seizure. The US Justice Department appealed and now the Supreme Court will hear the matter.

As technology evolves, so do the tools available to law enforcement officials, businesses and private citizens. In this case, gps tracking technology is pretty mainstream, with location based services appearing in almost every single new cell phone on the planet.
