Chatrie v. United States · ¶77

I agree with the Court that law enforcement officers conducted a search when they accessed petitioner Chatrie’s Location History. I write separately because I would have gone further to explain that this search violated the Fourth Amendment. As the Court observes, “[w]hen officers have obtained a warrant,” the validity of a search turns on “whether a magistrate has properly found probable cause to support a particularly described search.” Ante, at 30. In my view, it is clear that at a minimum the second and third stages of the search process here did not satisfy this foundational requirement.
