Partner Tony Brown and Counsel Jamie Quinn Contribute Expert Analysis on SCOTUS Case
Partner Tony Brown and counsel Jamie Quinn were invited to contribute a Law360 expert analysis on the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision in Chatrie v. United States. On June 29, the Court ruled that individuals have a reasonable expectation of privacy in their cell phone location data, meaning that law enforcement cannot obtain it without a warrant. However, the Court did not decide whether the unusual “geofence” warrant the police used in Chatrie’s case was valid, disappointing many people’s expectations for the case. In their analysis, Tony and Jamie discuss practical takeaways for criminal defense practitioners and some of the key questions that Chatrie left unanswered.
