Chatrie v. United States · ¶123

The Court’s resolution of the merits of this case is equally flawed. Applying the Fourth Amendment to 21st-century investigation methods is undoubtedly an important and challenging task, and the Court ought to proceed cautiously. Yet the majority, faced with only countervailing authority in the first two centuries of this Court’s case law, relies almost exclusively on our decision in Carpenter. And rather than moderate Carpenter’s departures from long-established Fourth Amendment law, the majority propels that decision’s disruption to new heights.
