Chatrie v. United States · ¶119

Chatrie’s petition asked whether the geofence procedure that the police used here comports with the Fourth Amendment. The answer to this question has scarcely any ongoing significance. Google, the Government, and the majority all agree that Google has modified its Location History service in a manner that forecloses future use of this geofence procedure. Ante, at 4, n. 2; Brief for Google LLC as Amicus Curiae 2; Brief for United States 42, n. 3. Chatrie does not offer any evidence to the contrary. See Tr. of Oral Arg. 17– 18; Brief for Petitioner 5; Pet. for Cert. 10–11. As a result, Fourth Amendment challenges to this geofence procedure will likely pass into obscurity soon.
