On January 23rd, a unanimous Supreme Court held in United States v. Jones that when the police attach a GPS device to an individual’s car and use it to track the vehicle’s movements, this constitutes a search under the Fourth Amendment.

However, the Court issued three separate opinions that raised almost as many questions as they answered about the rules going forward for law enforcement use of such technologies.
